We’re Keeping the Pressure on for Fair Pay

Public Sector workers across South Australia are struggling and it's time the Government respects your work and pays you what you're worth.

Child Protection workers perform some of the most challenging and vital work in our state—protecting vulnerable children, supporting families in crisis, and making critical decisions every day under immense pressure. Yet, you are doing this work in a system that's under-resourced, understaffed, and unsustainable. Chronic fatigue, unmanageable caseloads and unsafe workloads have become the norm. Enough is enough.

It's time to rally at the electorate office of the Minister for Child Protection, Katrine Hildyard. We will rally because you cannot protect children without protecting the workers who care for them.

Join your colleagues and supporters as we take our claim for fair pay and safe workloads directly to the Minister's office.

This rally will take place at Katrine Hildyard's Office—Minister for Child Protection.

When:  12:30 pm Wednesday 19 November
Where:  Katrine Hildyard's Office, 114 Beach Road, Christies Beach

Thousands of public sector workers have already stood up across the state—from Port Augusta to Parliament House—and it's working. The pressure we've built has brought Cabinet Ministers to the table to resolve this agreement with urgency. But we're not done yet.

Now it's time for Child Protection workers to be heard.

Let's show the Government that we will not back down until we achieve a fair and dignified wage outcome and real action to fix this broken system.

You work in an essential service. You deserve to be treated like it.

This rally will be last before the Mega Rally on Wednesday the 26th of November including a march to Parliament House.
