2020 – International Year of the Nurse & Midwife – this must be our year

2020, the World Health Organisation designated International Year of the Nurse & Midwife, is our year. It is the year for our voices to be heard and for Australia’s politicians to recognise our value by investing in the nursing and midwifery workforce. Genuinely. Properly. Truly.

It is the year to guarantee:
• Safe staffing ratios for nurses and midwives across every sector
• Safe environments in every place nurses & midwives work and an end to workplace violence
• Nurses & midwives are enabled to work to full capacity
• Urgent action on climate change and its devastating health effects, which could not be more critically needed than right now in the midst of Australia’s bushfire crisis.

Calling on politicians to stand-up for super & women

The Morrison Government’s recent announcement to review retirement income of Australians must result in addressing the disparity in superannuation outcomes for women. The Australian nursing and midwifery workforces comprise 89 per cent women, who on average retire with 40 percent less superannuation than men, even in female dominated professions.

We need reform that addresses the current gender pay gap, prioritises an increase to the superannuation guarantee to 12% and include the superannuation guarantee in the commonwealth parental leave scheme so that women are not penalised for taking time to raise their families.
