Laundry Allowance for Care Employees at Calvary Haydon

Laundry Allowance for Care Employees at Calvary Haydon

Thursday 11 December, 2025

Dear member,
 
HSU members at Calvary Haydon have reported not being paid their laundry allowance.
 
  • The Calvary Retirement Communities Limited (Calvary Retirement Community Canberra) Aged Care Employees Enterprise Agreement 2019 provides for a laundry allowance to employees who are required to wear a uniform, but where that uniform is ‘not laundered at the expense of the employer’. 
     
  • Members at Calvary Haydon are required to wear a uniform and therefore should be receiving the laundry allowance.
     
  • No laundry allowance on your payslip? Please provide a copy to your delegate Amandeep so that this can be raised with HR/payroll for correction and potential backpay!
 
For any questions or to find out more, please reach out to your HSU Delegate Amandeep Kaur or HSU Organiser Lisa Bourke at lisa.bourke@hsu.asn.au or on 0409 744 165 or your Member Services Division on 1300 478 679.
 
Do you know someone who isn’t an HSU member? Encourage them to join our Union today and have a say at work. We are always stronger when we stand together.
 
New members can join at www.hsu.asn.au/join or call 1300 478 679.
