We won’t see improvements in our hospitals until we deal with the workforce shortages in Allied Health! South Australian Allied Health are the lowest paid in the country! This must change!

“SOS - SAVE OUR STAFF!” ✊🏻 Allied health in SA has been chronically underfunded, undervalued and understaffed for far too long! These hardworking and skilled HSU members held a stop work action today because they are fed up with being overlooked in the public health system.

Our health services enter yet another Code Yellow. Many Allied Health Professionals are essential for patient discharge, but we're facing persistent understaffing challenges. Urgent action needed to ensure adequate care for all. Allied Health are crucial in reducing bed block!

The mounting stress on the health workforce now sees HSU OT members taking industrial action. Chronic understaffing of OTs is a key issue. “These issues cause delays that significantly impact bed block and ramping and places unrelenting pressure on workers.” - Billy Elrick
