Can NSWAHA represent me?

Because NSWAHA is not a union, under workplace laws it has very limited ability to represent workers.

NSWAHA cannot perform many of the basic representation functions of a union.

NSWAHA cannot bring proceedings against your employer for a breach of employment, and cannot get a permit to enter your workplace to support you and other members.

Additionally, NSWAHA cannot represent you for:

  • Formal unfair dismissal or bullying proceedings or applications
  • Federal Court proceedings

Finally, NSWAHA cannot be covered by an Enterprise Agreement.
