Many workers aren’t aware of their rights after sustaining a physical or psychological injury in the workplace. These injuries can range from musculoskeletal issues, cuts and burns to trauma and mental health impacts.

If your injury happened at or because of your work, you may be eligible to claim workers' compensation.

Union Legal SA has decades experience supporting workers through the process. They will help you understand your options so you can make informed decisions and focus on your recovery.

ANMF SA members are entitled to a FREE 30-minute legal consultation with an experienced lawyer on any legal matter.

From October 1, every aged care nurse and direct-care worker is entitled to see an extra dollar or more added to their hourly rate. This win was delivered by the ANMF 🙌

Circle the date: On 1 October, aged care nurses and direct-care workers across the country will see another wage increase, thanks to the success of the Work Value Case. It may be only a small increase per hour, but it does add up.
This win was delivered by your union, the ANMF.
