Aurora Healthcare EBA campaign

ANMF is negotiating wages and conditions for members employed at Aurora Healthcare's Brunswick Private Hospital and South Eastern Private Hospital in Noble Park. The current agreement expired on 31 July 2024.

Aurora Healthcare members are encouraged to update their membership details on the Member Portal.

If your ward or unit does not have at least two Job Reps, nominate now.

If you are a Job Rep, consider registering for our free training programs – Job Rep Foundations and Keeping it Organised which is essential for a successful EBA campaign.

The Aurora Healthcare EBA protected industrial action will start from 7am Tuesday 29 April 2025.

Members can legally engage in protected industrial action when advice is provided by ANMF via an EBA campaign update which will be emailed to members. There are serious consequences if you implement unauthorised industrial action.

Sign our petition

Private hospitals across Australia have a 41% share of patient hospitalisations and employ around 70,000 nurses and midwives.

Over two-thirds of elective surgery takes place in private hospitals.

But something is not right.

To work in private hospitals, you deserve comparable wages with your public sector colleagues. We know you also want safe staffing levels to support safe patient care.

But in our negotiations, ANMF is constantly told by private hospitals that they don’t have the money because of the contracts they sign with private health insurers don’t pay enough.

Tell the private health insurers that it’s time to pay their fair share to private hospitals so they can pay decent wages and provide safe staffing.

It seems health insurers only care about the profits they reap, not the quality of the care provided for patients (or the working conditions of those who care for them).
