Jan 20, 2025

Dozens of nurses and midwives from Gosford and Wyong hospitals rallied at Terrigal Haven today.

Raising their placards on the skillion, the crowd called for improved staffing ratios and increased pay.

Kelly Falconer from the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association says local hospitals were missing 48,000 hours of nursing care last year.

And that the association is “calling on better pay and improved conditions”, asking for a 15% pay rise.

Minister for the Central Coast, David Harris told NBN News the state government has offered a 10 point 5 per cent pay rise over three years.
