Thank you for working in aged care day... WE HOLD Thank you for Working in Aged Care Day each September, but one day isn’t enough to thank workers for the great work they do looking after the elders of our community, so in 2021 we celebrated all week. Real thanks means real change, so we applied to Fair Work for a 25% wage increase for aged care workers, and to celebrate we ran a giveaway for HACSU members. From 29 August to 4 September members could win a $50 Coles or Woolies gift card every month for 12 months with a golden ticket, 6 months with a silver ticket or 3 months with a bronze ticket – they just had to grab a chocolate from their organiser and unwrap it! There were also daily $50 spot prizes and a second chance draw.
Seema from Strathhaven found a golden ticket, Ana from UAW Kings Meadows a silver ticket, Ranjana from Taraandoo a bronze ticket and Evelyn from Tyler Village won the second chance draw.
