As of tomorrow, Monday 17 November, we are entering the next phase of the Public Sector EA 2025 campaign.

What does this mean for you?

➡️ Metro sites

In addition to the low-level action already underway, metro sites will now commence Working to Rule.
This means:

✅ Claim all overtime
⏱️ Take all breaks, uninterrupted
🍽️ Claim any missed meal breaks
🔁 No last-minute shift swaps
⏳ Breaks must be taken within 6 hours (PSEA)

Please refer to the Working to Rule fact sheet for full details here 👉 https://bit.ly/WorkingToRuleFAQs

➡️ Country Sites

Rolling stop-work visits will take place from the week beginning 10 November through to 26 November 2025.
Keep an eye on our stories and member bulletins for updates on locations, dates, and key information as we travel across the state.

This campaign is more than pay and conditions. It’s about recognition, respect, and the future of our professions and the community we serve.

And remember – we are stronger together.

A huge thank you to our regional nurses and midwives who, despite being unable to attend last week’s rally on the steps of Parliament House, proudly stood in solidarity across SA.

Your voices, actions and commitment echo far beyond city steps and they matter.

Regional health must be supported, respected and strengthened.

We Are Stronger Together 💜

Here are some snaps we received from participating sites 📸

❌ SURVEY NOW CLOSED ❌

Thank you to everyone who stood with us at last week’s Public Sector EA Stop Work Rally in Adelaide and across regional SA, what an incredible show of strength and solidarity!

The ANMF (SA Branch) unequivocally rejected the revised offer presented by government and we call on the government to urgently re-engage in negotiations and make an offer for a fair and respectful enterprise agreement that delivers competitive pay and conditions in line with the national market

Now it’s time to take the next step.

We are asking all public sector members take our 2-minute survey and let us know what industrial actions you are prepared to take to keep the pressure on.

Your voice matters. Your action counts.
