The minority Liberal Government must act swiftly to negotiate a final pay offer that recognises and addresses their outstanding concerns and remaining key priorities of the ANMF and their membership. Our hardworking and dedicated nurses and midwives are exhausted and running on empty. Budget Estimates revealed that $25.9 million was spent on overtime for nurses to May 2023.
