VAHPA Members have waited months for the finalisation of their new Public Sector Agreement. These delays are unnecessary and unacceptable.

It is time we took action to resolve this issue. The following questions seek to determine what sort of action you are willing to take.

We do not take industrial action lightly, especially in health, however it is our view that Allied Health Professionals are again being taken for granted by the Victorian government. This agreement must be put to the ballot, and all AHPs must receive the payment owing to them, immediately.
