"It's not enough just to change the bums in the seats, we actually need to change the structure of how ANU is governed overall." @NTEUnion's @LachlanClohesy on @ourANU. abc.net.au/news/2026-05-12/a…

Very proud of this incredibly brave NTEU member speaking truth to power. "University of Newcastle academic with terminal cancer risks job to speak out about 'unsafe' workloads." abc.net.au/news/2026-05-11/u… #HigherEducation #HigherEd #UnionProud @AlisonBarnes25

Secure Jobs. Better Universities. Ongoing work should mean ongoing jobs. Fixed-term contracts create more uncertainty, more stress and less control over our working lives. Staff deserve secure jobs to build stronger and more sustainable universities: betterworkplaces.nteu.au/

NTEU members in the ACT supported by many more around the country have fought so long to expose the governance crisis at the ANU. We have achieved so much but I am still shocked by some of what is still being revealed about Bell and Bishop’s tenure.

Work/Life Balance. Better Universities. A right to disconnect protects your health, well-being and family time. Staff need boundaries from work to safeguard their personal life and general well-being. Find out more about our priorities: betterworkplaces.nteu.au
