In July 2011 many members at Achieve Australia contacted the union to raise concerns over the new roster and the request from management to change current permanent full time employee's to permanent part time.

In July 2011 many members at Achieve Australia contacted the union to raise concerns over the new roster and the request from management to change current permanent full time employees to permanent part time. A survey was distributed across all employees at Achieve Australia and nine key issues were raised to management on the 18th of August.
Achieve Australia have conceded to the majority of the issues we have raised, a fantastic success! Achieve Australia has also indicated they are happy to meet with the Union to discuss these issues further and address specific examples of any breaches. We need to finalise a Union delegation to attend this meeting and raise specific issues and specific details to ensure these issues do not continue.
