In a landmark achievement for Victoria’s healthcare community, nurses and midwives have won a 28.4% pay increase over the next four years. This substantial pay rise not only recognises the unwavering dedication of these professionals but also addresses the longstanding undervaluation of a profession predominantly led by women.
This increase goes beyond just financial recognition. It serves as a crucial measure to improve staff retention and attract new nurses and midwives to Victoria’s healthcare system. By supporting those on the frontlines, the Victorian government hopes to create a stronger, more sustainable healthcare system for the benefit of all.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate these heroes. Nurses and midwives work around the clock, supporting our communities and providing life-saving care when we need it most. This new agreement shows that their invaluable contributions are finally receiving the recognition they deserve.
