Testimonials

Being a member of the SDA is important because I'm not good at speaking up so I need assitance to help negotiate on my behalf.  


For us members the organisers are there to help us if we have problems to work through it with the management, then I know exactly what my rights are and that they are being protected  


I call the union for handling problems if I ever have any in my workplace, they always respond in a fast and timely manner to help resolve them!  


I think the question should be this:  Why should somebody not join the SDA? That list would be short.  


Paid Domestic and Family Violence Leave

Go Back
  • 9th December 2016

The ACTU has asked the Fair Work Commission for ten days of paid leave as a basic standard that all Australians should be entitled to.

They expect a decision in the first half of 2017.

This is an historical case that would grant millions of Australians access to paid leave if they are subjected to family and domestic violence.
