Thanks to all the companies who signed the voluntary charter, over
employees are now protected!
Has your employer signed the charter?

Pressing for additional employment protection for terminally ill workers who need greater protection from heartless employers who utilise a loophole in the law to dismiss the dying due to their illness. Every person battling terminal conditions deserves the choice of how to spend their final months.

Follow our simple step-by-step guide to get your employer to sign the charter:
- Check that your employer has not already signed

- Encourage your employer to sign the voluntary charter

- Sign the Charter
Jacci's story
