We have just received a correspondence from Blue Care to tell them that they will NOT negotiate a new contract with you for the third year in a row! You can read the letter here. Registered contracts apply until they are terminated or replaced. Enterprise agreements are collective agreements between employers and workers on employment conditions. The Fair Labour Commission can provide information on the process of drafting enterprise agreements, evaluate and approve agreements. We can also deal with disputes over the terms of the agreements. The Fair Work Commission can also help employers and workers who are embarking on the “New Approaches” program. Learn more about the new approaches on the Fair Labour Commission website. If a job has a registered contract, the premium does not apply. However: Fair Work Commission publishes enterprise agreements on this site. Business agreements can be tailored to the needs of some companies. An agreement should be overall better for an employee when compared to the corresponding bonuses or rewards. As members of the union, you have seen first-hand how hard it is possible to negotiate hard with Blue Care for better pay and better terms.

Blue Care management has not only refused to negotiate a new collective agreement for you, but it has also reduced the conditions of your colleagues in the field of home care more recently and has made things just as difficult for your carer colleagues. If you have searched and cannot reach an agreement, the information and tools are available on the Commission`s website to support the agreement. Visit an agreement for more details.

Under the broad leadership of the Clinical Director, Hummingbird House, the Staff Care Worker is responsible for the overall care and care of clients in the care and their families.

This position will help the clinical team achieve the best result for the guests of Hummingbird House. Your union office continues to explore other industrially available options. We will keep you informed of what we are discovering. Hummingbird House, Queensland`s only children`s hospice, is a medically assisted “home house” for children affected by a life-limiting illness and their families. The self-contained facility offers 8 people in adoptive beds, 5 family homes and a one-of-a-kind End of Life suite. Comforted by the idea of creating a “warm hug” for children and their families, the multidisciplinary team offers short short stays for emergencies and short stays in specialized emergency care. end-of-life care and psychosocial support programs for the whole family. With strong local, national and international connections with specialized pediatric palliative services, Hummingbird House is an integrated, community-based service that provides flexible child care and family services. Modern rewards cover an entire sector or profession and provide a safety net between minimum wage rates and employment conditions.

The challenges Blue Care employees have faced over the past three years in terms of wage uncertainty and conditions are just one of the reasons unions across the country have advocated for rule change.
