Our internal data reveals 🇦🇺 biggest health system is at a breaking point. Nearly six in 10 NSW health workers are close to quitting due to unsafe working conditions, chronic understaffing & a lack of affordable housing & childcare. Health workers deserve better. @HSUNSW #health

Aged care workers have been fighting tirelessly for years for the complexity and importance of their work to be recognised. Another big win in their fight for better pay today. @HSUNSW

The NSW govt promised to progress paramedic professional recognition, but they've done nothing. 1900 paramedics have now pledged not to re-register with AHPRA - the deadline is tomorrow. Why should they register as professionals if the govt refuses to treat them as professionals?

@ChrisMinnsMP @dmookheyMLC Happy budget day! Unfortunately, you forgot to honour your promises to paramedics. Registered for five years, recognised for zero! 73 Days to go until ADHSU paramedics boycott re-registering.

@ChrisMinnsMP NSW Paramedics have had enough of not being recognised as professionals by this govt. Today marks 74 days until registration with AHPRA will expire. Come 1 Dec, ADHSU paramedics will boycott re-registering. NO REGISTRATION WITHOUT RECOGNITION #nswpol #priority1

HSU members never take action lightly. But drastic measures are sometimes called for when our health system is beyond stretched. HSU paramedics have voted to take the step of leaving non-urgent patients unattended at hospitals to get back on the road and respond to emergencies.
NSW paramedics will leave non-urgent patients at hospital unattended in order to respond to more emergency calls as union action heats up | #nswpol @HSUNSW

Today, our government will make a submission to support better pay for aged care workers. Our aged care workers shouldn’t have to choose between a job they love and whether they can pay their bills - they deserve respect, support, and fair pay. @sunriseon7 #auspol #agedcare

We back our health staff taking industrial action today. We are done with ‘thanks’- we need fair negotiations for better conditions, and that means the wages cap has to go!
"Thank you isn't enough, we need action." Thousands of health care workers, including paramedics across New South Wales, will walk off the job AGAIN this morning, fighting for better pay. #9Today

Solidarity to @HSUNSW members striking today for wage justice. It is not acceptable you are called "heroes" and "essential" while the NSW Govt insists on real wage cuts.

The cost of living is skyrocketing and real wages for health workers are going backwards. After braving the frontlines in the pandemic, the least health workers deserve is a fair pay rise. That's why I'm supporting @HSUNSW in their strike action today.

A moving and powerful interview with Dolly explaining why health workers are stopping work in NSWs today. Solidarity to her and all the tens of thousands of @HSUNSW members taking action.

Solidarity with striking healthcare workers! 💪💪 There is massive and growing industrial action underway against the NSW Government. Workers are putting power in their own hands. Fed up with overwork, understaffing and wages that don't keep up with the soaring cost of living.
INDUSTRIAL ACTION THIS THURSDAY 7 APRIL In hospitals & health facilities across the state, HSU members will stop work for up to 4 hrs. Enough of the government's 'healthcare heroes' rhetoric. We need real thanks - that means a proper pay rise to combat soaring cost of living.
