What we stand for

Community Sector Solidarity stands for:
  • The preservation of community sector worker's rights
  • Equal opportunity to "participate" in meaningful, appropriately remunerated work, education, family, leisure, personal growth, pursuit of dreams and quality of life
  • Real choice about the ways people engage in their communities, rather than by coercion or force
  • The right for workers and communities to organise and act collectively
  • The stamping out of AWAs
  • A community that aims for humane standards in which its members are treated with respect and can retain dignity and self determination over their lives.
Community Sector Solidarity aims to:
  • Effectively advocate for the wider community to have equal opportunity to participate in all areas of life and meaningful work, education, family, leisure,personal growth and pursuit of dreams
  • Support people to have real choice over their lives and their participation in their communities, with the encouragement of all to involve themselves within theircommunity as they choose and to realise their full potential
In order for the above to be achieved Community Sector Solidarity believes the community sector, faith based organisations, unions and community members must stand strong and united in the fight to abolish "Workchoices" and "Welfare to Work".
