The impact of local government can be felt on every street corner across Australia. Communities rely on council-run services now more than ever before – and it’s local government workers that make it all happen.

When you need garbage collection or a book at a library – thank a local government worker.

When you need roads or playgrounds maintained – thank a local government worker.

When you need accessible early childhood education or aged care – thank a local government worker.

When you need a pool in summer or support during natural disasters – thank a local government worker.

Over 200,000 local government workers are behind all these vital community services and more.

Despite this, Federal funding for local government has plummeted, compromising the quality of these essential services and putting local jobs at risk.
