News: Professionals Australia lodges their pre-budget submission

Professionals Australia’s pre-budget submission has called on the Federal Government to focus on jobs and rebuilding the economy after the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. 

CEO Jill McCabe said that the Federal Budget presented a unique opportunity to lay the foundations for long term economic growth and to address long standing inequities in the labour market.

“Australia’s economic recovery will be built on policies and investment in physical and social infrastructure, science, technology, engineering and high value manufacturing.  
“To create future prosperity we need budget initiatives that create high-quality and secure jobs and to create an economy that’s fair we need industrial regulation that protects workers’ wages, conditions and rights” Ms McCabe said.
