For 30 years, JobWatch has provided vital services that have ensured real access to justice for all Victorian workers. JobWatch is a not-for-profit Employment Rights Community Legal Centre and while JobWatch is based in Victoria, around 55% of calls to the JobWatch Telephone Information Service are referrals from the Federal Government’s national help lines - Fair Work Australia and the Office of the Fair Work Ombudsman. However, JobWatch’s services are still at risk due to a 60% cut in funding from the Victorian State Government. We the undersigned call on the Federal Government to secure the future of JobWatch by providing adequate recurrent funding.

This service is a lifesaver for people who get screwed over at work. Do not let this happen.

They helped me out when my boss was withholding my pay. So many workers rely on them everyday.

Why cut funds for something that helps hundreds of thousands of people? Makes no sense at all.

My friend used them last year when she was wrongfully fired. It was the only way she knew what her rights were. Essential service.

30 years of helping people shouldn't end like this. FUND THEM.
