Another egregious example of uni wage theft. As claimant says: "our university encourages students to pursue Master's programs in Psychology and Social Work, and then undervalues those same qualifications in their own staff." Go @nteuvictoria.bsky.social newshub.medianet.com.au/2025/11/unio...

We welcome Deakin's announcement that it'll be paying back staff for unpaid wages totally $2.9 million.
Find out more about how this happened, the repayment process and how to find out if you're owed money.

Great to see Deakin paying back staff their missing wages, but we feel there are more current and former staff out there who will be eligible.
