"I took a leap of faith to start a health business with co-founder Sarah called Spark Health. It’s been shared mindsets, goals, work ethics and values that has enabled our partnership, business and impact to flourish.  

"We never imagined that it would end up looking like this. With us managing an Aboriginal street wear label as well, that supports and funds the impact and work we do together with Aboriginal Communities."

 

Felicity Sowerbutts, Director, Young Workers Centre

One in five works have had their wages stolen from them by age 30, said Felicity Sowerbutts.

She said the new workplace legislation introduced to Federal Parliament by the Morrison Government will make it "so much harder to transfer from casual work to permanent work" while further disadvantaging young workers.

The way we work, how work is changing, how it used to be and what it might look like in the future.

It’s about who we work with, and who we work for.

It’s a discussion about the conditions in which we work and the demands of a job.

It’s talking about how it can be the best thing in our lives and also the worst.

Work can give us meaning and satisfaction, it can be the most challenging thing we’ve ever done and the most soul destroying days of our lives.

And that can all be in the same week!

Above all, we want to talk about work in a way that helps make work better for everyone
who listens.
