HP Stronger Together actions around the state

HP workers are taking industrial action in many different areas of Queensland Health. All action is carefully planned to ensure that patient care is not affected. The below list gives you a rough indication of the many actions union members are performing as part of their standing up to the department – and the many different areas of health services that HPs contribute to! This is an amazing effort by union members.

Congratulations to all members who are participating in work bans and other collective action – your actions are making a real difference in our continuing campaign.
