Employer Reference Group

ACOSS has established an Employer Reference Group as a working group for the not-for-profit social service sector comprising employer organisations, peak representative bodies and unions involved in the equal remuneration case for SACS workers. Its objectives are to facilitate communication and collaboration across the sector through the lifetime of the case and the campaign for funding of any wage increases. It provides a focus for sector organisations to develop strategies and messages in relation to the campaign for funding; and through which to be apprised of developments and provide input into the case. ACOSS will be communicating regularly with our members as the campaign for funding develops. 

The membership of the Employer Reference Group for the equal remuneration case comprises ACOSS members and other parties involved in the case or effected by its outcome:

  • ACOSS
  • Australian Services Union
  • Family Relationship Services Australia
  • Jobs Australia
  • NDS
  • QCOSS
  • The Salvation Army
  • The Smith Family

Employer Reference Group Terms of Reference

ACOSS will be working closely with our members as the case progresses, identifying potential implications and building the campaign for funding of any wage rises that flow from it.
