A union meeting will be held at Armidale Hospital on 18 July 2023 at 2:00pm in the staff dining room opposite imaging.

This meeting is an opportunity for members to vote in-person on two crucial matters: a pay rise and changes to salary packaging. Your vote will determine if any offers are accepted, or if members continue to fight for more. You can see the exact questions below.

If you wish to attend and vote in person, then please do not complete the online survey sent to you.

Your vote matters. It will shape the future of our union and NSW Health. By attending the meeting, you will have the opportunity to engage in discussions, ask questions, and cast your vote.

This meeting will last for one hour. The Ministry of Health have agreed that members will receive pay for 30 minutes of this meeting.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your local delegate or organiser.
