Thanks to pharmacists sticking together, getting unionised and taking industrial action, we’ve now received written confirmation from the Department that all pharmacists will get the market allowance.
It was a bad decision to exclude some pharmacists to begin with, and we’ve always known that you’re all vital and play an important and invaluable role in patient care no matter where you work in pharmacy.
We’re just glad that now the Minister and the Department see it too, and that you’ve been able to force them to come to their senses and walk this decision back.
This is a huge win and it’s only because of pharmacy workers dragging the government back to the table that we were able to get this $10,000 extended to all pharmacists – congratulations on your work!
It just goes to show that when we stick together and we’re union there’s nothing that we can’t achieve.
