Ministerial media release
Nurses negotiations
I am pleased to confirm that both the Government and the Nurses & Midwives Association have accepted the recommendation of the IRC.
As recommended by the IRC, NSW Health will begin paying an interim 3 per cent wage increase effective 1 July and that no industrial action affecting patients will take place while the discussions and/or arbitration is progressing.
We look forward to these discussions and ongoing negotiations with the Association.
