After Nurses and Midwives in NSW went on strike twice in September, NSW Health has agreed to pay nurses on the Far South Coast and across the state, a 3% wage increase.
That’s to temporarily stop industrial action, with the state nurses’ union accepting a recommendation from the Industrial Relations Commission.
This week on the iHeart Far South Coast podcast, we chat with Delegate of the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association from Bega, Diane Lang.
She’s a surgical nurse who has spent many shifts on the frontline, and she tells us why she believes our Far South Coast nurses deserve better pay, better conditions and lower staff-patient ratios.
