*** MEDIA ALERT *** Health workers walk off the job and rally across the Territory

Health Services Union SA/NT < 1 mins read

Health Services Union (HSU) members working in the public health system will walk off the job today at every major hospital to protest the Northern Territory Government’s Enterprise Agreement (EA) offer.

The proposed EA would make Allied Health professionals in the NT the lowest paid in the country, threatening our ability to staff essential services.

HSU has ensured skeleton crews will remain on site to maintain urgent and emergency services.

All Rallies will be conducted between 10am-11am.

The Media is welcome to attend either of the following rallies:

Royal Darwin Hospital - Grassy area out the front of the Pathology building.

Alice Springs Hospital - Cnr Gap Rd & Bagot St

HSU Officials and selected HSU delegates will be available for comment.

RTBU National Secretary Alex Claassens said the funding demonstrates a clear recognition that rail plays a key role in Australia’s future transport mix. “This is a significant step forward and we commend the government for recognising rail as the transport option of the future,” Mr Claassens said. “For too long, our transport network has lacked the long-term investment and vision required to keep pace with the growing needs of Australians.…

New bill protects workers from AI excesses

Passage of the Work Health and Safety Amendment (Digital Work Systems) Bill 2025 through the NSW Parliament will curb unsafe, AI-driven work practices, rostering and invasive workplace surveillance, representing a landmark victory for workers.

"By explicitly holding employers responsible when AI and digital systems harm workers, NSW is setting a proper standard for workplace safety in the digital age.” The legislation addresses critical gaps identified in parliamentary inquiries regarding work intensification and the psychological risks of automated decision-making. Under the new laws, employers…
