We wrote it down.
Hold us to it.
NSW nurses and midwives are among the lowest paid in the country, in the state with the highest cost of living. Time for Handover is standing for General Secretary, Assistant General Secretary and 20 Councillor positions, with a plan in writing rather than a slogan.
Four commitments
Rebuild trust by 2028
The NSWNMA should never have trusted the government and gone to the IRC. We should have kept up strike action. We cannot strike again until 2028, so we will use that time fighting for workplace safety and making sure members get every allowance they are owed.
Protect nursing and midwifery roles
We will make sure AiNs and AiMs are not used in roles that should be done by RNs, RMs and ENs, stand up for a proper skill mix, and stop members being asked to work outside safe staffing arrangements.
Get the union back on the ground
Organisers with members in the hospitals, helping nurses and midwives understand their rights and how to actually use them.
Teach your WHS rights
Practical education on your work health and safety rights, including your right to refuse unsafe work where the legal requirements are met.

Two years at the NSWNMA, regional and Auburn ED experience, former FSU delegate. Staying on the floor casually. Not in a political party.
