StandUp! needs you.

StandUp! is an organisation of unemployed and social security activists dedicated to defending the social security system and fighting for the right for everyone to have a decent livelihood. We campaign against work tests, private job network agencies, against cutbacks in government spending and against work for the dole. Our members are volunteers. Until now we have been auspised by South Sydney Community Aid but unfortunately they took away this auspice, leaving us without money or an office. Currently we are surviving on donations.

StandUp! wants to campaign for you. We need people to assist us with information. If you have been abused by bureaucrats in CentreLink, we want to know. The more we know, the more we can organise. Tell us about your work for the dole scheme. If you have an oppressive job network agency, tell us. The more we know about what private job networks get away with the better we can campaign against both the agency concerned and the system of private job network agencies.

StandUp! needs you to contact us with information, assist us in the distribution of leaflets and posters, come to our meetings and contribute. Our meetings are totally democratic and everyone is welcome to have their say.

If you are a member of a trade union, we would appreciate your support in campaigning against work for the dole. Work for the dole is an attack on employed workers as well as unemployed people.  This year StandUp! will be lobbying unions to take action. WE plan to demonstrate against work for the dole providers such as H&H inc who profit out of this work for dole slave labour.


Phone us 9599 1727 every Friday during working hours or 0423 670 417 anytime.


Come to our meetings every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at South Sydney Leagues Club, Chalmers St, Redfern from 6 pm.
