NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet has discussed a potential health care worker payment scheme with Treasurer Matt Kean, which would include an immediate bonus of $5000 ahead of an identical payment in 12 months, and a ‘pandemic payment’ of $60 per shift for nurses and paramedics across the state.
It comes after Upper House Greens Member Cate Faehrmann amassed over 13,000 signatures in support of the NurseKeeper payment, which calls on Mr Perrottet to install a scheme similar to what is in place in Victoria.
