What do we want everyone?
00:02
50%!
00:04
When can we want it?
00:05
Now!
00:06
I think we all know that we've been systematically underpaid for years.
00:11
We've got one of the highest turnover rates going.
00:15
We are now the lowest paid in Australia, which is just appalling.
00:20
We're supposed to be one of the best states in the country.
00:23
Well unfortunately the government's not showing that.
00:27
So if we want to attract and retain some staff like the young ones we've got over here,
00:32
we're going to have to pay them a wage that competes with Victoria and Queensland.
00:37
Or we're not going to keep them.
00:38
Fix the mess!
00:39
Stop our stress!
00:41
Fix the mess!
00:43
Stop our stress!
00:45
One, two, three, four.
00:48
We need more employment!
00:52
What we're telling everybody is that we are burnt out, exhausted,
00:56
from consistently working short-staffed and doing extra hours to pick up the shortfall.
01:02
And we have to do the extra hours.
01:04
One, because we want to help our colleagues and keep our patients alive.
01:07
But two, because we can't afford to pay our rent and pay our food
01:12
if we don't get the extra money from the overtime.
01:15
So it's a vicious circle and we've had enough.
