Join the ANMF as we lead a panel discussion exploring how climate change and our continued reliance on fossil fuels is driving up everyday costs of communities across the country.
In response to the current fuel crisis, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) is seeking to increase the travel allowance paid to nurses and midwives who use their own vehicles for work.
The ANMF is calling for immediate financial relief for nurses, midwives and aged care workers struggling with cost-of-living pressures fuelled by escalating global conflicts.
A $331 per week ‘Prac Payment’ to support student nurses and midwives during clinical placements, set to come into effect in July, would be axed under a Dutton government.
Cost-of-living for parents of children aged six and under rose by 27% between 2021-2024, climbing four times faster than the rate of inflation. The Albanese Government’s three days of subsidised childcare fee relief for about 66,700 families and extra hours for more than 100,000 families will take effect from January 2026.
Australian Unions will pursue above-inflation wage rises this year because of rising housing costs.
