On this week's episode, we share moments from the Public Sector Workers rally that took place on Wednesday 30th October outside Parliament House in Naarm/Melbourne. Workers across the state rallied together to demand that the Victorian State government sanction Israel and not public sector workers; that they break all military, diplomatic and industrial ties with Israel as well as cancel the Memorandum of Understanding with the IOF; and finally to end co-operation and investments with Israeli weapons companies such as Elbit Systems. In attendance on Wednesday were members of the Australian Education Union (AEU) who are also part of Teachers and School Staff for Palestine, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) Victoria for Palestine, Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) for Palestine and Health and Community Services Union (HACSU) for Peace.

Reflections on the pandemic and how nurses and midwives will ensure their voices are heard as the healthcare system moves forward. Linda Silas, President, Canadian Federation of Nurses Union Bonnie Castillo, Executive Director, National Nurses United, USA Shaye Candish, General Secretary, NSWNMA Linda Silas has fine-tuned her skills as a union leader at the local, provincial, national and international levels over the course of two decades. Starting her tenure as a full-time labour activist as the single mom of a 13-month-old son has shaped Linda in a very distinctive way. Linda has earned a reputation for being a caring listener who is focused and solution-oriented in everything she does. Linda champions greater understanding and action on the social determinants of health and key policies that will enhance socio-economic equity, including a national pharmacare program and justice for Indigenous communities. Linda's clinical background is ICU, emergency, and labour and delivery. Linda believes health care, like education and decent work, is a human right. She embodies the CFNU motto “Where knowledge meets know-how. Bonnie Castillo, RN, is executive director of National Nurses United (NNU), California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC), the largest U.S. union and professional association of registered nurses with more than 170,000 members. Bonnie is a globally recognized nursing and labour leader, who in 2020 was named as one of the TIME 100 most influential people in the world, and in Modern Healthcare's list of 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare and 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives. She has been with CNA/NNOC for almost two decades in a number of important capacities, working her way up into the leadership of the organization from her early days as a registered nurse member who helped to unionize her facility, to staff and then lead organizer, to a director, and now to her current position as executive director. Shaye joined the NSWNMA in 2008 whilst working as a registered nurse in the emergency department at Campbelltown Hospital, she soon became an active member, campaigning with her colleagues for improvements to staffing. With growing appreciation of the work of the union, Shaye was successful in obtaining an Organiser position within the Public Health sector team before she quickly rose to the position of Lead Organiser, and then Campaign Coordinator of the Public Health Sector 2018 ratios campaign. Her apparent leadership skills then led to her appointment of Co Manager of the aged care and private sector team. In August, 2021 Shaye was appointed as Assistant General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives' Association and Branch Assistant Secretary of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation NSW Branch and in August 2022 was appointed General Secretary of the NSWNMA.

It seems obvious, doesn't it? If New Zealand wants more nurses and midwives, then provide their qualifications for free. That's what the Victorian Government in Australia has done. Thousands of nurses and midwives will be recruited and trained for free as part of an AUS$270 million Australian initiative. Speaking on Tova, Lisa Fitzpatrick of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation said this will be a great incentive for people wanting to pursue a career in healthcare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia is facing a shortage of at least 110,000 direct aged-care workers within the next decade, unless urgent action is taken to boost the workforce. That's one of the findings of our latest report, which also found the shortage will balloon to more than 400,000 workers by 2050 unless we take dramatic action now. Australia has failed to prepare for this challenge, but there ARE steps we can take to improve the system. To discuss CEDA's findings and potential solutions, CEDA Chief Economist Jarrod Ball is joined by Aged & Community Services Australia CEO Patricia Sparrow; Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Federal Assistant Secretary Lori-Anne Sharp; and the author of our report, CEDA Senior Economist Cassandra Winzar. But first, Jarrod is joined by CEDA's Chief Executive Melinda Cilento to discuss some of the issues we're thinking about at CEDA this week.
Luke Grant is joined by Annie Butler, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) Federal Secretary, who continue to strongly encourage aged care nurses and carers to receive COVID-19 vaccines, but is concerned that mandating vaccinations for the aged care workforce could be a ‘political decision, not a health decision'. According to the ANMF, there is still ongoing confusion and very little detail on how mandatory vaccinations would be implemented. They are concerned that there is still no guarantee of special paid leave to assist aged care staff get their vaccinations and the $11 million pledged for workers, is just a mere $30.00 allocated for each worker still unvaccinated.

Health authorities are rushing a new round of vaccinations for aged care workers and residents at a nursing home in Melbourne, which was plunged into full lockdown yesterday after a worker tested positive for COVID-19. Only a third of workers and two thirds of the residents at the Arcare Maidstone nursing home received their first vaccine dose and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation says the Federal Government is failing to protect vulnerable Australians.

When the pandemic hit in March 2020 Annie Butler, Federal Secretary at the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation, was at a conference in the UK. She then had to quarantine for 14 days coming home, all the while working to manage what was known at the time about the virus. "State and federal (governments) and Australian people just really united together and went 'Right. What do we need to do? How can we do this?' "Australia is very pragmatic, and just I think, responded really well and allowed us to just put health first and take the measures that we needed to."
