Too many workers have an insecure, unreliable job
Fewer rights at work, lower pay, no ability to plan for the future. Workers in this country used to have secure work they could count on.
Insecure work impacts everyone.
Almost a decade of consecutive Liberal governments has chipped away at workers’ rights to please big business. In the past few years, laws have been changed and workers' rights have been removed.
If we don't restore job stability soon, it will be too late.
Big business has more power than ever to remove reliable work and force workers into unstable, insecure jobs.
Australia used to have the most secure jobs in the world
Whether it’s casualised jobs with less rights, labour hire that underpays for the same job, part-time work without meaningful guaranteed hours, or years of low pay growth, insecure work is a serious problem for our community.
People with insecure work can’t plan their lives, struggle to pay their rent or mortgages, always worry if they’ll have enough to pay the weekly bills. Having a secure job is connected to so many basic things – mental health, food, housing.
When people don’t have stable or secure jobs, they have less money to spend in their local economy. This harms small local businesses and it holds us all back.







Job insecurity didn't happen by accident
We need strong laws that protect workers and ensure decent, fair pay and conditions
