Testimonials

For us members the organisers are there to help us if we have problems to work through it with the management, then I know exactly what my rights are and that they are being protected  


It's the protection of your job, it makes sense to be protected  


It’s peace of mind, it’s just like ringing a friend and knowing they are there for you plus they know all the answers.  


I think the question should be this:  Why should somebody not join the SDA? That list would be short.  


Answers to your common questions

How much does it cost?

SDA fees are modest and charged weekly through your pay. Fees are deducted according to the hours you work:

Membership Fees as at 1 January 2024
Less than 10 hours a week $ 4.50
10 hours or more but less than 20 hours per week $ 8.05
20 hours or more a week $ 11.30

All fees include GST

What if I have no hours?

If you are on payroll deductions and you work no hours in any particular week you do not pay fees for that week.

Are tax fees tax deductible?

Yes. Your Union fees are 100% tax deductible. You can claim the cost of your fees as a deduction.

What happens if I leave?

If you are on payroll deductions and you conclude your employment your fees will automatically cease.

If I change jobs, does my SDA membership follow me?

No. That’s why it’s important that members contact the SDA when they change jobs. It would be terrible if a problem arose in your new workplace and you do not have the protection of the SDA.
