Case Study - Aboriginal Health Worker
Michelle Nona from Innisfail in Queensland is one of thousands of Aboriginal Health Workers who rely on the minimum wage case for a pay rise. Michelle, 31, who works as the finance officer at the Mamu Aboriginal Medical Service and is a HSU member, said that she and her family had no money to spare at the end of every week. "After all the bills are paid and the shopping is done that is it, we don't go anywhere," she said. "We don't eat out, we don't go to the movies, we don't go to Cairns unless we save up, which is hard. "We need a new roof at the moment but we can't afford it."Michelle said the many of the other staffmembers who work for the service were in similar situations with some struggling to pay bills and relying on loans from family members to get by or to pay for a much-needed holiday. Aboriginal health workers across the country are supporting the campaign for a $26.60 pay rise in 2004. Are you an award worker who needs a pay rise?
