paying people almost $100k less than they can get interstate is a great way to destroy your mental health services

So they pay them $90,000 LESS than their interstate counterparts. Outrageous. No other profession or service tolerates that.

It’s a massive struggle for nurses to get a pay rise and they do most of the work. It’s ridiculous that these psychiatrist want an extra 25%.

the issue isn't that they want the pary rise, the real issue is how did you let their salaries get so far behind the norm

Considering wages have pretty much been halved due to inflation, high cost of living etc it seems like they’re demanding pay equal to that of a few years ago. Sure it’s not sustainable in our current economy but we deserve a collapse so 🤷‍♂️

They will end up spending far more money on the locums that they will have to get to replace them.
