On Wednesday 19 June 2024, the HSUWA Committee of Management unanimously rejected the Department of Health’s first Offer for a new Union Agreement 2024.
The pay increases offered, of 4.75% in the first year and 3.5% in the second year, do not go far enough to ensure that all HSUWA Members in the public sector receive a real wage increase.
Key workforce reforms and important conditions need to be met to satisfy priority claims. Members’ claims are based on better work hours, safer workplaces, rewarding careers and a stronger workforce.

The Committee of Management is calling for:
- The WA Government to intervene in negotiations to ensure key measures are delivered in a second offer.
- All members are to get involved in union activity in the coming weeks to ensure our voices for change are heard loud and clear.
- All workers covered by this agreement who aren’t members yet to join today. Get off the sidelines and stand with us for a better deal for all.
If you are not yet a HSUWA Member – we encourage you to join now and support your colleagues.
