Your new Allied Health Professionals (Victorian Public Sector) (Single Interest Employers) Enterprise Agreement 2021-2026 (Agreement) will soon be sent to the Fair Work Commission to be ratified.

As we’ve said throughout this campaign, this Agreement gives us a way forward to rebuild our public health services from the crisis of Covid-19. We can now go forward to demand change for the benefit of our communities, to demand recognition and respect for Allied Health Professionals, as well as all other healthcare workers, and demand public health services that provide accessible, world-class healthcare to all.

With your involvement, we will hit the ground running so that the progressive and ambitious improvements you have won in this Agreement are enforced in your workplace. These include vast improvements to career progression, ensuring you are paid for the work that you do, we’ve improved staffing and workload issues, work-life balance, respect and safety in the workplace and much much more.

From this EA, we must build on these wins and go further. Your involvement will be critical to ensure that we work collectively to ensure these new improvements are implemented and that the work you do as Allied Health Professionals attracts the respect it deserves!
