Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their concerns on our last post about the PSEA25 6% interim increase.

We want you to know that we’re listening, and we appreciate members raising these important questions.

To help provide clarity, we’ve addressed the most common questions we’ve received:

1️⃣ The 6% administrative increase is separate from the EB negotiations, 4% will take effect from 1 January and will be back paid to that date.

2️⃣ We were given a very short timeframe to consider the offer, leaving no opportunity for broader consultation. In situations like this, your elected council is authorised to make decisions on your behalf.

3️⃣ We are now returning to negotiations for the NMEA 2025, which covers all other wages and conditions in your Log of Claims. As bargaining resumes, industrial action must cease in line with good faith requirements.

4️⃣ If negotiations do not progress, we can recommence industrial action.

Members’ action has delivered real results.

ANMF (SA Branch) CEO Elizabeth Dabars provides an update on the 6% interim increase secured through strong and united member action — ahead of the Government entering caretaker mode.

An additional 2% administrative payment (from October 2026) has now been confirmed, adding to the 4% already secured (backdated to 1 January), bringing the total interim increase to 6% this year.

This additional 2% was achieved because members were prepared to act.

With this significant progress secured, industrial action — including the planned stoppage at the Lyell McEwin Hospital — is now strategically paused while negotiations for the full wage claim and improved conditions continue.

Members have demonstrated that when we stand together, Government moves.

Another day, another media opportunity! CEO/Secretary Elizabeth Dabars outlined on radio earlier this morning why we needed to postpone the 24-hour stoppage at LMH, and while it is still important for us to take action for respect - regardless of government being in caretaker mode.
