Together members in custodial corrections have a long and proud history of working collectively to win improved pay and conditions. In times of trouble it’s good to know that union members are able to protect each other.
Members in Custodial Corrections made the decision to fund a group legal insurance policy to provide an added level of security and protection. Each year the Together corrections division takes out a group legal expense insurance policy funded by this levy.
In partnership with Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, this policy provides members with funding to obtain legal advice and assistance in a range of circumstances – not just at work.
For more details contact the Together office on 1800 177 244.
Together represents thousands of public servants in the Department of Corrections across the state as well as administration and professional staff and Custodial Corrections Officers.
