Very proud of this incredibly brave NTEU member speaking truth to power. "University of Newcastle academic with terminal cancer risks job to speak out about 'unsafe' workloads." abc.net.au/news/2026-05-11/u… #HigherEducation #HigherEd #UnionProud @AlisonBarnes25 – at Melbourne, Victoria
The university where teaching is tougher than having terminal cancer for this academic

The university where teaching is tougher than having terminal cancer for this academic

The University of Newcastle has been found to be worst in class when it comes to staff wellbeing. Now, an academic with terminal cancer is speaking out about it because others fear they cannot.

"The government has set out a genuine long-term vision for higher education. But without sufficient funding, the noble ambition of sending more students to universities simply cannot be realised.” - Dr Alison Barnes, NTEU National President.   Read more: nteu.info/budget2026

Inclusive Workplaces. Better Universities. We need universities to commit to equitable Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander employment targets, and ensure that they are creating inclusive spaces that embrace kinship, cultural and community obligations, to ensure mob are supported

Secure Jobs. Better Universities. Ongoing work should mean ongoing jobs. Fixed-term contracts create more uncertainty, more stress and less control over our working lives. Staff deserve secure jobs to build stronger and more sustainable universities: betterworkplaces.nteu.au/

NTEU members in the ACT supported by many more around the country have fought so long to expose the governance crisis at the ANU. We have achieved so much but I am still shocked by some of what is still being revealed about Bell and Bishop’s tenure.

Just days after Four Corners exposed $1.8 billion in consultant spending, we're now seeing universities hire external lawyers to block basic salary transparency. Staff and students deserve transparency and answers. 📰 Read the article: abc.net.au/news/2026-04-02/u…
