Pay rises don’t just happen – the SDA makes them happen. Every year, the SDA argues for pay rises before the Fair Work Commission, or bargains for pay rises in Enterprise Agreements. The SDA is always working to improve your work conditions too. Whether it’s extra time off or better rostering rights, the SDA is working for you. Being an SDA member helps increase your pay.
How can we help ?

The SDA is here to help members with any Health & Safety concerns. We work for safer workplaces. If you are injured at work, the SDA can help you with your WorkCover claim – a complex area of the law. The SDA has specialists on staff to help our members with all Health & Safety processes.

The SDA is campaigning:
