Under the Fair Work Act 2009, only staff who are members of the NTEU or CPSU and who would be covered by the proposed enterprise agreement are able to take ‘protected’ (i.e. lawful) industrial action.
If your lecturer is not in the union, he/she should be working as normal; and members of the union are not obliged to strike if they do not wish to do so.
It is therefore certainly not the case that "all" classes are cancelled, more like "some".

Can anyone confirm if this email sent by Chemistry people means there's no lectures tomorrow?
Dear Students,
Please be advised that due to industrial action by the CPSU and NTEU on Thursday 7 March, the School of Chemistry will close all Teaching Laboratories on this day for Work Health and Safety reasons.

that reads to me that labs would not run. It does not make any comment on whether lectures are on or not.
maybe just the labs are closed? my chem lecturer said he'd definitely be there teaching in the morning...

And yet he managed to score another 4 years of being VC when his contact came up last year.
I'd suggest Carillion Avenue if you want a quiet entry. It's a bit of a trek, but barely anyone ever goes over there.
My HPS lecturer yesterday said he wasn't striking, but he then looked up the weather forecast and said it was supposed to be great for Thurs, so we've all been encouraged to support the strike at the beach. This is why I love HPS.
And maths was cancelled so no classes for meeeeee

I saw that. I don't know why they are complaining. 50 days can equate to almost 3 working months (more like 2.5 working months)
Is that 7% per year? if so, that is more than twice inflation which is huge!!

It'll be like the beach landing at Gallipoli in the war. Many of us won't make it
