Bush nursing centres
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (13:34): We are all aware that the nurses’ enterprise bargaining agreement is currently under negotiation, and what we are seeking is some guarantee that the bottom line of our small rural bush nursing centres will not be impacted by the outcome of this. We cannot have another process where we have a cost shifting onto small rural health services that are already struggling to stay afloat. I have six bush nursing centres in my electorate – at Dargo, at Gelantipy, at Buchan, at Cann River, at Swifts Creek and at Ensay – and the people who run these bush nursing centres are very concerned that they will not receive additional funds to counter for the outcome of that EBA. They are struggling to survive now. Our government must support our small rural health services and ensure they are looked after.
