Paramedics win special payment from the IRC
Paramedics and Control Centre Officers at NSW Ambulance will receive a special one-off payment after the Australian Paramedics Association (NSW) ran a wage case to successfully defy the NSW Government’s freeze on public sector wages.
APA (NSW) ran their wage case for the 2020-21 financial year separately from other unions, focusing on the exceptional nature of workplace changes in a year marked by bushfires, floods and the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic.
“There is not a Paramedic in the state who doesn’t deserve a pay increase after being consistently at the frontlines through this unprecedented year,” said APA (NSW) President Chris Kastelan.
