The Union rejected an “offensive” payment offer of 10.5 percent in three years, stating that it needs a 30 % increase to ensure that the new South Wales can attract enough doctors in its public health system.
Police officers were given last year Pay increases up to 39.4 percent Over four years, while in 2023, the paramedics of NSW received a paid push between 11 and 29 %.
In the NSW, a junior medical officer is paid $ 78,000, or $ 38 per hour, while the average salary for a senior medical officer is $ 222,017, according to the health data of the NSW. The payment packages of specialists range from $ 335,669 to $ 439,600.
The Minister of Health of NSW Ryan Park declared in a declaration that the strike plans would interrup the hospitals, including the emergency departments, reminding the union that was not too late to return to the commission for industrial relations.

“The preparations are now urgently underway to manage the impact on our patients. Patients will be contacted with postponed surgical interventions,” said Park.
“This is not a union without options: it is inexplicable that Asmof would actively choose to jeopardize patient security for having resolved his request in the (industrial relations commission).”
