A real pay rise for nurses and midwives

After years of capped wages., the best our NSW government could offer our incredible nurses and midwives was a pay rise that wasn't even above the rate of inflation.

We won't solve the chronic shortage of nurses and midwives with an effective pay cut.

It’s never been important to look after the nurses and midwives who keep us healthy and safe - which is why we, the undersigned, are calling for:

A 15% pay rise for nurses, midwives and paramedics and then an increase of 2% above inflation for the next 4 years
Reform to pay nursing, midwifery and paramedicine students for their time on placement at the rate of a junior Assistant in Nursing, and
mandated safe nurse-to-patient ratios

Sign the petition and demand that the NSW Labor government implement these reforms for our hard-working nurses and midwives as part of the next state budget.

Will you sign?
