Better salary packaging is critical to recruiting, retaining, and sustaining our health workforce, as it allows employees to decrease the amount of tax payable on their income. Under current salary packaging arrangements, the resulting tax savings are split equally between health workers and NSW Health. Changes announced by the NSW Government, will see HSU award workers' share of these tax savings increase to 70 per cent. More than 50,000 healthcare workers will benefit from these changes across NSW including in rural and regional NSW, including allied health, health and security assistants, administration staff, cooks, patient transport staff, paramedics, sterilisation technicians, tech assistants and telephonists.
