HACSU - Tasmania's Largest and Strongest Union

The Health and Community Services Union – or HACSU for short – represents workers in public and private hospitals, ambulance and paramedic workers, nurses, pharmacists, the aged care sector, disability care sector, and community services across Tasmania.

HACSU is the Tasmanian branch of the Health Services Union (HSU) - a growing national movement of over 100,000 members strong.

In Tasmania, over 12,500 members are a part of HACSU, working together to fight for improved wages and conditions, safer workplaces, and more secure working rights.
