Fair go for workers keeping patients safe!​

Hospital security guards stand on the frontline of safety every single day—protecting patients, nurses, doctors and the public from violence and threats.

But because their jobs are contracted out, they’re getting the short end of the stick.

United Workers Union is calling on Minister Thomas to intervene and ensure hospital Guards receive fair pay and conditions. Patient safety depends on it.

Sign the petition urging Minister Thomas to act and ensure that Victoria’s hospital security guards are treated with the fairness and dignity they deserve!

SIGN THE PETITION: Fair go for workers keeping patients safe!​

To the Victorian Minister for Health, Mary-Anne Thomas - 

Every day, hospital security guards protect patients, staff, and visitors from harm. They play a vital role in keeping hospitals safe. 

But guards are being left behind simply because their work has been outsourced. 

This must end. 

Minister Thomas—it’s time to act. Step in, fix the contracting system, and ensure that Victorian hospital Guards receive the fair and safe conditions they deserve.
