Huge win! Paid placements for social work degrees from July next year, all thanks to ASU members! Students will earn $319.50/week during placements from 2025. It’s a landmark victory for student financial fairness. Solidarity wins! 💪

This is a start to address “placement poverty”, but we need to see this expanded to cover all Allied Health Professionals that provide essential services to all Australians around our great country! @apaphysio
Too many students drop out because they can't afford to do an unpaid placement. But Australia needs more nurses, teachers and social workers. That's why we're introducing the Commonwealth Prac Payment to help these students graduate.
