Make a real difference and support the work of JobWatch - an independent, not-for-profit employment rights community legal centre. Established in 1980, we are committed to improving the lives of workers, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. 

Why are we collecting funds?

As a not-for-profit community legal centre, we rely on funding to provide free and confidential employment law assistance to workers who need it the most. The generosity of your donations and support will enable us to keep providing high quality services and ensure our community has access to information about, and support with, their rights at work.

By donating to JobWatch, you are helping Australians to be empowered with knowledge about their legal rights, to be advocated for, and to feel supported.

How will your tax-deductible donation be used? 

Your support will help ensure that more Australians can access our services. Each donation goes a long way - helping us to deliver essential support, including:

1. Telephone Information Service (TIS): We are known for our unique TIS, a free and confidential service that takes over 15,000 calls annually from workers across Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania and assists them with their rights at work. Through the TIS, we are able to provide legal information and referrals relevant to our callers’ individual situations.
   
   
2. Legal Practice: We can handle individual cases by assisting people to enforce their employment rights and have access to legal representation. We work with people who may be more vulnerable to having their rights breached at work because of their age, gender, race, location, class status, and more.
   
   
3. Community legal education: We focus on preventative measures so that workers are aware of their employment rights and have the knowledge to address unjust work practices. This is done through workshops, information sessions and training programs targeting schools, universities, local community groups and more.
   
   
4. Law reform work: JobWatch is involved in government advocacy and media campaigning to promote justice and to raise awareness of issues impacting Australian workers. JobWatch is in a unique position to understand new and emerging trends in employment law and its impact on everyday workers. Our data is based on real experiences so we can make evidence-based submissions to government and employment law bodies to advocate for policy and legal reform.
