SVHA Bargaining Update: It’s time to set a date

SVHA Bargaining Update: It’s time to set a date

Monday 16 February, 2026

Despite requests from the HSU to commence bargaining for a new enterprise agreement, your employer St Vincent’s Health Australia (SVHA) has still not set a date to begin negotiations. Your pay increase was due last month. With continued delays, any new pay increase is being pushed further and further away. Every delay costs you.
 
  • The HSU has made it clear: our members are ready to bargain for better pay and improved conditions. SVHA must now come to the table.
  • An HSU petition has been created to demand that the employer immediately commences bargaining.
  • Print the petition HERE, sign it, and ask your colleagues to sign. Show the employer that you are standing together and expect negotiations to begin without further delay. You can return completed petitions to your HSU Organiser via the email below.

 
When workers stand united, employers are forced to listen.
 
For any questions or to find out more, please reach out to your HSU Organiser Prue Irvine prue.irvine@hsu.asn.au or your Member Services Division on 1300 478 679.
