Stand with us for the right to disconnect

Did you know that the right to disconnect from work is linked to several existing human rights? One of these is the right to rest and leisure, agreed on by the UN.

We understand the appeal of that Sunday night inbox clear-out but the evidence is in – safeguarding your mental space outside of work hours can offer significant advantages to your health and wellbeing in the long-term:

  • Reduced levels of stress and anxiety
  • Better quality of sleep
  • Increased productivity and creativity at work

The Australian Services Union is calling on the Federal Government to legislate the right to disconnect. You can help us achieve this and protect other workers by signing our petition.
