To allow staff to participate, NTEU members will meet early in Semester 1 next year to vote on our claims, when everyone has returned to campus and can participate fully. In the meantime, we’ve let se ...Continue Reading

New fixed-term contract not what they see

June 11th 2025

Unfortunately, Deakin University management has taken a very different path. As you may be aware, many staff have been engaged on short-term contracts that cut pay and increase workloads. Our En ...Continue Reading
