Victorian paramedics hope to move into voluntary conciliation talks in the Fair Work Commission within weeks in a bid to end the long-running stalemate over enterprise bargaining negotiations.

The arbitrary talks between the Ambulance Employees Association Victoria, the state government and Ambulance Victoria before a commissioner come after more than 300 paramedics from across the state rallied outside the Health Department earlier this week.

Victorian paramedics say they are the lowest paid in the nation and are seeking a wage rise, better working conditions and improved resources to address the state’s ambulance crisis.

Ambulance Employees Association Victoria general secretary Steve McGhie said increasing numbers of frustrated Victorian paramedics are leaving the industry – either moving interstate for higher-paid work, some are returning to their nursing backgrounds while others are going to university to gain other degrees.

“We are losing some – there’s no question about it,” he said.

“Paramedics have been going interstate and they have also been leaving the industry altogether.

“The survey we conducted last year indicated unless paramedics are valued…we could lose up to 1500 paramedics over the next five years.”

Mr McGhie said paramedics were hopeful conciliation talks would begin within weeks and would result in a “satisfactory” outcome.

“I think there’s a lot of work to be done but we are prepared to give it our best shot and come up with something reasonable,” he said.

“We will know within the first month whether the government and Ambulance Victoria are genuine about trying to resolve it.”

Mr McGhie said any party was able to withdraw from the voluntary negotiations at any stage.

He said if negotiations were not successful, paramedics were prepared to ramp up their industrial bans - and will even consider taking strike action for the first time since 1973.

“The worst case scenario is taking some stop-work action,” he said.

“It’s a drastic effort – paramedics don’t take that lightly because it means they are withdrawing their services.”

Mr McGhie said paramedics will continue to hold rallies across the state to highlight their fight for better wages and conditions.

Nurses say employment law changes are bad medicineby Karen Keast

“We can place them in work from a few weeks to a few months or longer, to accommodate their travelling needs.”

Allied health professionals need to ensure they are fully compliant to work in the UK, and are required to provide evidence, such as serology reports or immunisation records for immunity to various diseases, a 100-point identification proof, and proof of qualification with copies of degree and professional registration in Australia.

Where allied health professionals secure work in the UK will depend on the skills shortages in specific areas at particular times.

Ms Holloway says Medacs Healthcare (Australia), which assists with the compliance process and there are no fees for its services, works with private and NHS facilities in all of the major cities as well as the regional areas of the UK.

But ultimately the decision of where to work is up to the locums, who also have to arrange their own accommodation.

Ms Holloway advises keeping an open mind when it comes to work locations.

“The UK consists of four different countries with different cities, cultures and adventures to be had,” she says.

“If a locum pigeonholes themself and is only willing to work in south-east London or its close surrounds, this will limit their opportunities - flexibility offers more opportunity.”

The advantages of working in the UK are endless, from the opportunity to gain more experience and new skills to the obvious potential for travel.

HCPC registration takes around four to six months to process from the time the application is submitted.

“Get onto your registration work as soon as possible,” Emma advises.

“It is a complicated and time consuming process to put together and the processing time can be lengthy.

“The visa application was far simpler and easier to execute in my experience.”

Ms Holloway says allied health professionals need to eligible for either a working holiday visa (30-years-old or under) or an ancestry visa.

“The UK working holiday visa is a well beaten track but also an easily accessible way for Australians and New Zealanders to work overseas,” she says.

“Candidates get the opportunity to gain valuable international professional experience from eclectic sources throughout the UK whilst having the opportunity of satisfying their wanderlust on weekends travelling to various parts of Europe.

“If they are not eligible for either visa, in some circumstances we may be able to find an employer to sponsor them to work in the UK on a more permanent basis,” she says.

NURSING & MIDWIFERY SCHOLARSHIPS

Open 22 July 2013 Close 13 Sept 2013

An Australian Government initiative supporting nurses and midwives. ACN, Australia’s professional organisation for all nurses is proud to work with the Department of Health and Ageing as the fund administrator of this program.

Apply online www.acn.edu.au freecall 1800 117 262

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) has renewed calls for an overhaul of the aged care system amid ongoing allegations of mistreatment of nursing home residents and concerns the sector faces a major staffi ng crisis.

As the federal election campaign heats up, the ANMF is calling for a registered nurse on site around-the-clock at all stand-alone aged care facilities, minimum staffi ng levels and skill mix, and the introduction of a national registration scheme for all assistants-in-nursing (AINs) delivering nursing care and services.

It also wants an annual review of aged care funding in a bid to ensure wages paid to staff are the same as those in the public health system, and enhanced transparency and accountability in funding to guarantee residents’ quality of care.

The union is lobbying Labor, the Coalition, Greens and key Independents for its raft of solutions to be implemented after aged care nurses and care workers spoke out about the staffi ng crisis engulfi ng the sector to ABC’s Lateline program.

In the program, nurses and care workers said the aged care system, due to a lack of skilled staff and dwindling numbers of registered nurses, was contributing to widespread neglect of vulnerable residents while the report also highlighted allegations of abuse and frequent medication errors.

ANMF federal secretary Lee Thomas stressed the union had a zero-tolerance approach to any form of mental or physical abuse of the nation’s aged care residents.

“The allegations raised on last night’s Lateline program were truly distressing – now is the

time for bipartisan action so no-one else

suffers,” she said.

“It’s time for action to ensure older Australians

receive high quality care from a well-educated

and prepared workforce.”

Calls for further reform to the system come

after the Federal Government’s $3.7 billion

Living Longer, Living Better aged care reform

package was passed through both houses of

parliament on June 26, ushering in historic

changes to the sector.

The new legislation will result in $1.2 billion in

pay rises to fl ow through to the pay packets

of Australia’s 350,000 aged care nurses and

care workers.

Ms Holloway says the high educational and professional standards in the Antipodean market ensures employees’ skills are highly sought after and easily transferable.

“Apart from OTs and physios where there is always a high demand, they also are literally crying out for all types of medical imaging technologists,” she says.

“Likewise biomedical scientists, dieticians, podiatrists and the list goes on.

“Most of these roles would be within the NHS, however some would be in private practice also.

“Demands for particular professions can change and fl uctuate throughout the year but the demand is always there.”

Ms Holloway says allied health professionals should have a minimum of 12 months’ post-graduate experience in work before applying to work in the UK.

“Firstly, this is due to the fact that the UK only looks at overseas professionals due to a shortage and therefore needs them to be experienced enough to hit the ground running with minimal training,” she explains.

“And secondly because there is quite a hefty fee to apply for the HCPC registration, and you wouldn’t want to spend the money if you cannot fi nd work.”

Pursuing overseas work through an agency that recruits to the UK is a good way to ensure you meet the lengthy and costly compliance process.

A one-off non-refundable payment of £420 is required. Allied health professionals then need to meet the HCPC registration fee, which is advised when the application has been processed and approved for the two-year registration cycle.

Emma Wilson loves working in the United Kingdom.

The 28-year-old physiotherapist, who was born in Brisbane and raised in Canberra, is working as a locum through agency Medacs Healthcare (Australia) at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in Norwich, located east of England in Norfolk.

Working as a respiratory physiotherapist in the intensive care and high dependency units, Emma is also providing cover to the medical, surgical, cardiology and vascular wards for respiratory patients.

It’s Emma’s fi fth locum role in the UK since she arrived more than a year ago. The variety of work has enabled her to create many new friendships and to see the sights of England and Europe.

“I’ve now done incredible trips to France, Italy, Austria, Turkey, Switzerland, Germany, Greece and Ireland and have so much more planned,” she says.

“The proximity to Europe is exhilarating and then there are all the amazing destinations within the UK itself.

“Having the opportunity to gain exposure to so much history, culture, religion, politics, arts, literature, food and the people in every place is exceptional.”

Australian and New Zealand allied health professionals are in demand in the United Kingdom.

A skills shortage throughout the allied health and medical professions has seen a rise in the number of physiotherapists, radiographers, dietitians, occupational therapists and podiatrists required in the UK.

Katie-Jayne Holloway, who works in UK recruitment compliance for Medacs Healthcare (Australia), has seen demand for locums in the UK reach an all-time high.

sent out a few emails to different companies. CCM was the only one to reply promptly with balanced

information. CCM was the most personable company

I encountered. I have recommended CCM to

several colleagues & friends; they have all agreed they

received exceptional service.”

Matthew 4-wheel biking, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

“The Staff at CCM were incredibly helpful in organizing for me to work in Saudi Arabia. The staff

that I dealt with were extremely knowledgeable about the country & the hospitals themselves, & were

able to give a realistic insight to what life would be like living and working in Riyadh, maintaining contact

with me throughout my time there & even now. I have made many amazing friends, seen things I

would never have otherwise had the opportunity to see. I will never forget my time working in Riyadh.”

Katrina at the “Edge of the world” (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)

“CCM made the process of moving to the Middle East a

smooth transition. They always responded to my emails with helpful information & in timely manner. Moving to the Middle East was the best move I have ever made now I have friends

all around the globe.”
