You now have another chance to influence award reform and receive important information about fixing the Hospital Scientist and Technical Officer awards.

Statewide meetings for Technical Officers and Hospital Scientists will be held via Zoom:

Union members have a once in a generation opportunity to make a fit for purpose future proof award that properly recognises your work, skills, training, and qualifications.

Before the meeting you should review these documents that were provided to members last month:

1. A detailed explanation document, which should be read first.
2. A frequently asked questions document, which should be read second.
3. A diagram of a high-level impression of the classification structure.
4. A diagram of a high-level impression of career progression for diploma or certificate-qualified scientists.
5. A diagram of a high-level impression of career progression for degree-qualified scientists.

Any new Award needs to meet the needs of union members across NSW. If you don’t think your work is reflected in this document – get in touch. Make sure you come to these meetings to make your voice heard.

Those in specialist non-pathology scientist roles, research roles, technical scientific roles, and FASS are particularly encouraged to get involved.
