Lowest paid.
Highest cost
of living.
NSW nurses and midwives are among the lowest paid in the country, in the state with the highest cost of living. After 23 years without a challenge to the General Secretary position, you finally have a choice. Here is why we are asking for your vote.
The NSWNMA should never have trusted the government and gone to the IRC. We should have continued strike action to fight for a better outcome for members.
We cannot take strike action until 2028. We will spend that time restoring members' trust: fighting for workplace safety and making sure every allowance is paid.
AiNs and AiMs should not be filling roles meant for RNs, RMs and ENs. We will fight for a proper skill mix and safe staffing you are not asked to work around.
Union organisers back on the ground, with practical education on your WHS rights, including your right to refuse unsafe work where the legal requirements are met.
