$2,600 a year. That's what nurses at Sunshine Coast University Hospital are paying just to turn up to work.

No transparency, no accountability and no real alternative for workers finishing a shift at 11pm who can't safely walk to a bus stop.

115 doctors. One letter. Four failed cultural reviews. And they're still not being heard.

💬 Queensland members, are you seeing this in your workplace? What does "raising concerns without fear of reprisal" actually look like where you are?

A significant policy reversal in aged care — and an important one.

The government announced it will remove co-payments for assisted showering, dressing, and continence care in home-care settings, effective October 1.

Nurses at Gladstone Hospital have spoken out about Legionella detections, mould contamination and deteriorating infrastructure.

It takes courage to speak up. And too often, nurses are dismissed when they do. Comment below or email [email protected]

We are standing up to raise nurses’ concerns at Gladstone Hospital.

Nurses have reported repeated Legionella detections, mould contamination and unsafe water use — including in areas caring for babies and vulnerable patients.

On 4BC this morning, NPAQ President Kara Thomas called it out - Queensland’s health system is failing its nurses.

Today’s Courier-Mail story shows the absurdity: we’re staring down a 21,000 nurse shortage, yet graduates can’t get jobs.

Queensland’s hospital system isn’t “under pressure" - it’s breaking, and nurses are carrying the weight.

This isn’t a staffing failure. This isn’t a funding accident. This is policy failure.

Queensland’s Premier has revealed that over 1100 patients are trapped in hospital beds — people who should be receiving care in aged care or NDIS settings, but can’t move because the system is gridlocked.

After months of frontline staff raising the alarm about dangerous conditions at Kerrisdale Gardens, The Courier-Mail has now reported both the tragedy and the real improvements that have resulted from member advocacy.

💔 “The staff were good. They were competent but there were too few of them.”

In this piece by Sydney GP Dr Marie Healy, we see what happens when care collapses because our system is stretched beyond breaking.

Do you feel the system is collapsing?
