A new enterprise agreement for the University of Canberra’s employees includes an increase in the superannuation contribution of casual staff from 12 per cent to 17 per cent. This will be progressively phased in over the life of the four-year wage deal; the university’s permanent employees already have a super rate of 17 per cent, and vice-chancellor Professor Bill Shorten says the increase for casuals is an "overdue correction". The new enterprise agreement also includes annual pay rises of 3.625 per cent over four years, increased working-from-home rights and access to reproductive and defence service leave.

Some 67 per cent of Victoria University’s employees have voted against an offer of a two per cent pay rise over five years. It follows a previous ballot in 2018 when 77 per cent of staff voted against the university’s pay deal. The National Tertiary Education Union has urged the university to put forward a new offer, flagging the possibility of industrial action if it fails to do so. The union argues that Victoria University’s block teaching program has increased staff workloads by up to 18 per cent.
