How many Queenslanders took their first breath at a Mater hospital?
How many Queenslanders’ hands have been held by Mater nurses and midwives as they faced their toughest decisions?
Mater nurses and midwives having been caring for Queenslanders for more than a century.
Mater nurses and midwives are highly skilled professionals delivering the highest standards of clinical care.
This month marks more than 600 days since Mater nurses and midwives last received a pay rise under an enterprise agreement.
In that time Mater has purchased a new hospital and opened another one. They’ve signed off on a three-year deal for their doctors that matches their wages with Queensland Health (QH) while offering their nurses and midwives less.
Mater nurses and midwives are facing the same challenges, the same cost-of-living crisis as their colleagues at Queensland Health, that’s why they deserve to be paid the same – same work, same pay.
That’s why we’re calling on Mater’s CEO Julia Strickland-Bellamy to come back to the negotiating table with an offer that delivers safe, respected care for nurses and midwives.
Help Mater nurses and midwives secure a fair deal that respects their roles and protects safe working environments, sign the letter to Mater’s CEO today.
