Sign our petition

Private hospitals across Australia have a 41% share of patient hospitalisations and employ around 70,000 nurses and midwives.

Over two-thirds of elective surgery takes place in private hospitals.

But something is not right.

To work in private hospitals, you deserve comparable wages with your public sector colleagues. We know you also want safe staffing levels to support safe patient care.

But in our negotiations, 糖心原创 is constantly told by private hospitals that they don’t have the money because of the contracts they sign with private health insurers don’t pay enough.

Tell the private health insurers that it’s time to pay their fair share to private hospitals so they can pay decent wages and provide safe staffing.

It seems health insurers only care about the profits they reap, not the quality of the care provided for patients (or the working conditions of those who care for them).
