Wednesday 5 July 2017
Dear Member,
We are founded on the principle of paramedics looking out for paramedics. Over the past few years, we have had passionate paramedics who have been elected to executive positions in APA (NSW), helping set the agenda and the running of the association.
Nominations are now open for Secretary/Treasurer (4-year term), President (2-Year term), Vice President (2-year term) and 4 executive members (2-year term).
If you believe in the power of the collective, want to speak up for our colleagues, ensure our interests are progressed and fellow paramedics are protected from injustice, you have the values that are required to be on the APA (NSW) executive.
Nominees must be a financial member of APA (NSW) for over 12 months and have the support of 2 financial members to be able to nominate. A candidate statement must also accompany a nomination.
All nominations must be received by the NSW Electoral Commission no later than 12:00 (noon) Monday 24 July 2017.
Regards,
APA (NSW) Executive
Your Choice, Your Voice

NSW Ambulance (NSWA) continues to bury their head in the sand when it comes to our uniform.
The current polyester uniform, including the short-sleeved shirt, has been causing work health and safety concerns for
several members in hot and/or humid climates. This is unacceptable.
Today the Australian Paramedics Association (NSW) are commencing industrial action to stand against the announced wage cut by the Premier. For months, Paramedics and other essential workers put our lives and the lives of our families at risk to look after the people of New South Wales during the COVIID-19 Pandemic.
The NSW Premier’s announcement to freeze the pay of public sector workers for 12 months is disgraceful. Paramedics and our frontline colleagues have been used, yet again, as scapegoats for this Government. We are praised as heroes for our hard work, and in the same breath served a pay cut that will ultimately send our wages backwards.
