Name optometrists on the HPSS Award
"Unions such as the HSU are led by its members to advocate for employee workplace rights, e.g., pay, staffing, and other working conditions; professional bodies such as OA advance clinical standards and education but lack certain industrial powers.
Australian health unions have secured legislated nurse-to-patient ratios, award-wide pay rises, and enforceable workload caps – achievements that could be replicated for optometry.
A collaborative, dual-advocacy model has proven effective in other health professions. HSU and PFF welcome open dialogue with OA."
