Public hospital psychiatrists to receive 20% pay rise after winning dispute with NSW Health

Public hospital psychiatrists in New South Wales are set to receive a significant 20% pay rise after a successful dispute resolution with NSW Health. This decision comes after over 200 doctors threatened to resign earlier this year, highlighting the urgent need for better compensation in the healthcare sector. This pay increase not only acknowledges the hard work and dedication of these professionals but also aims to improve retention rates in a field that is crucial for mental health services. It's a positive step towards ensuring that public hospitals can attract and keep skilled psychiatrists, ultimately benefiting patients across the state.
