Solidarity with Gomeroi people. The fight for the Pilliga is not over. Mass action and union power can win this, but we all need to step up and act with the Gomeroi to save this invaluable forest and cultural site.

While we welcome this apology from the Premier and Health Minister, we still believe these claims were a deliberate and malicious attack on doctors aimed at destroying their credibility and undermining the legitimacy of the doctors’ strike.

The Government is on notice. Best to check your facts 😘

For the first time in NSW history, senior and junior doctors are taking industrial action together, 8-10 April.

We have spent years trying to address the staffing crisis in our public hospitals.

This is our last resort.

Doctors in NSW are taking action to ensure patients can access safe and quality care in NSW public hospitals.

Without enough doctors we can't provide safe and timely care for you and your family.

Right now our hospitals are in crisis. And as doctors we must take a stand.

Unionised workplaces are safer and fairer for women. Collective bargaining power, workplace protections, and stronger equal pay laws are just a few of the reasons why.

But there's more to do! See you on 8 March ✊
