Negotiating a 12 month Award rollover at Broken Hill City Council means wage growth for our members & gives the USU time to work with council to develop a new, fairer salary system.
By negotiating a 12 month rollover, your union has made sure members are not disadvantaged and the development of their salary system is given the time it deserves.
The rollover has secured:
- A 4% wage increase from 1 July 2025
- A one-off bonus of $1500
Without any loss of conditions.
Developing a new salary system takes time and we want to get it right. We also know that the cost of living is hitting our members hard and delaying a payrise would disadvantage our members.
The voice of our members, amplified by your union and backed by our industrial knowledge is how workers win.
Negotiations for the new Consent Award will commence in 2026.
