After the former Coalition Government put an unfair wages cap on nurses, the Minns Labor Government is delivering the largest pay increase in over two decades.
This is part of our plan to rebuild our frontline workforce including:
● Scrapping the unfair wages cap
● Rolling out safe staffing meaning more nurses to treat you in hospital
● Saving the 1,112 nurses the opposition planned to sack
● Giving almost 8000 healthcare students subsidies to help them complete their course
● Recruiting over 5,000 more nurses
