Births, Deaths and Marriages – Restructure

  24 February 2020

The Department issued a “Restructure Management Plan” on Tuesday 18 February and forwarded the document to the ɫ������on the same day. A ɫ������meeting of members at Regent St was convened for Friday 21 February, with another planned for the Parramatta office on Wednesday 26 February.

The restructure includes a loss of more than 15 per cent of the workforce. Unbelievably, consultation was set down to close on Friday 28 February, a mere nine working days after the restructure was announced.

Members at the Regent Street meeting were justifiably concerned, some asking that the ɫ������immediately lodge a dispute in the Industrial Relations Commission about the unreasonable timeframe.

The ɫ������recognises the difficulty we will have receiving considered comment and concerns from members and being able to collate those concerns for feedback to the Department before the end of consultation. A request has been made to the Department to extend the consultation period.

What should you do?

Email your concerns to with “Call 128138” in the Subject field. A document with members’ collated concerns will be forwarded to Management.

The ɫ������is YOUR UNION and will continue to fight for your rights and entitlements at work. Workers are “STRONGER TOGETHER” so talk to your colleagues and suggest that they become ɫ������members too.
