HSU PARAMEDICS WIN HISTORIC PAY DEAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


HSU paramedics have secured a historic 29 per cent pay rise, standing up to the NSW government and declaring it was high time NSW paramedics stopped being the country’s lowest paid and most injured.
On 13 December, HSU paramedics overwhelmingly accepted the NSW government’s pay offer - which came about after thousands made the decision to refuse to renew their professional registration in protest.
Paramedic members are advised that with the acceptance of this pay offer, there is no longer a reason to maintain the registration boycott.
When we unite, we win.

GERARD HAYES' MESSAGE TO HSU PARAMEDICS

Read HSU submission to Special Commission of Inquiry into Healthcare Funding (NSW)

Did you know that one third of the NSW state budget goes into NSW Health? That’s a whopping $33bn per year.

Thousands of HSU members have told their stories about wastage in NSW Health. The HSU has now reported this in our submission to the Special Commission of Inquiry into Healthcare Funding (NSW).

A key recommendation is this: Undertake a national review of the pay and conditions in the healthcare workforce. Because we can’t have a world class healthcare system without health workers.

Bottlenecks, over-servicing, waste – these are all concerns that need to be dealt with. The Special Commission has the authority to subpoena documents and scrutinise expenditure to root out where the issues are.

And we can share our vision of what Health should look like: a well-paid workforce where community and preventative health has a strong part to play, and universal healthcare is upheld and supported.
