New gender pay gap data shows wide disparities across Aussie unis.
It's not about women being paid less for the same job. It's structural inequality: insecure work, under-representation, workload inequity + pay secrecy.

Men working in Australian universities earn 10 per cent more on average than their female colleagues, even though gender pay disparities have contracted

Fair pay. Better universities.
University staff need fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living. Food, rent, and bills haven’t stopped rising and neither should your pay. Hard work, sacrifice, and increased productivity should be recognised.

The pervasive use of NDAs in #HigherEducation weakens transparency and is symptomatic of the corporatisation eroding the sector's integrity.
Is this what we should expect from public institutions like universities?

That universities ritually use NDAs is symptomatic of the culture of secrecy that flourished with the sector's ongoing corporatisation.
Is this what we should expect from public institutions like universities?

NTEU VIC's Joo-Cheong Tham said the habitual use of confidentiality clauses undermines a culture of #academicfreedom by suppressing criticism of universities.
“Academic freedom should be seen as a matter of individual right and institutional culture,” he said.

National President Alison Barnes and General Secretary Damien Cahill joined Australian Unions today to pay respects in solidarity with the Jewish community. NTEU stands firmly against violence and anti-semitism.
@damiencahill.bsky.social @alisonbarnes.bsky.social
The NTEU stands with Jewish Australians as they grieve this devastating and targeted act of violence.
Violence, hatred and antisemitism have no place in our society. We stand in solidarity, care, and shared humanity.
Union win!
Universities must do better: 8 recommendations from the senate inquiry report spell out how.
What an endorsement for the @NTEUnion campaign for Better Universities - roll on 2026!
