Considering the proposed wages offer from Ramsay Healthcare, your union cannot recommend members vote Yes for this agreement. Wages are a vital part of addressing the rising cost of living and in real terms, this is a wage cut for Ramsay workers.

Ramsay has now issued a notification about voting on this agreement. Voting will open at 12:00am Wednesday 13 December and will close at 11:59pm on Monday 18 December.

Members are urged to make an informed decision and review the proposed Enterprise Agreement prior to voting.
