A union meeting will be held at Hornsby Hospital on 24 July 2023 at 1pm in Bld 60 Meeting room 1 Level 5.

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.

You should now have received an email containing a link to vote online. All members are welcome at the meeting, but if you have already voted online we ask that you abstain from voting at the meeting.

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.
