On 6 December 2022, paramedics in the vocational and post-employment tertiary pathway program who were call taker trained, banned complying with a direction to return to the control centre. See newsletter announcing bans here.

NSWA has reluctantly agreed to withdraw the ‘direction’ and ask for volunteers instead.

ADHSU members are happy to help where they can, but should not be forced to sacrifice their education against their will – especially when the problem could have been and should have been fixed by NSWA years ago.

On that basis members have voted to lift the bans. This again shows the power of standing united.
