The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) has welcomed the Albanese Government’s funding for a long-awaited 15% pay rise for the aged care workforce, but has expressed its bitter disappointment and serious concerns that underpaid nurses and care workers may be denied better wages, because the Government has failed to impose rules on how providers actually use the money.
Reflection of 2022
As we celebrate the end of the year, we look back and reflect on the many incredible things we’ve achieved with our members. But we know, there is always so much more to do. Thank you to all our Workplace Delegates, Branch Councillors and members for all your work, passion, and determination once again this year. We will see you all in 2023 - bigger, louder, stronger together.
