Your voice matters! As a frontline professional worker in paediatric healthcare, your experience and insights are essential to shaping the future of our healthcare system. This survey provides a valuable opportunity to share your views directly with the NSW Parliament, ensuring your experiences are heard. The responses collected will inform the Health Services Union's submission to the Early Childhood and Development Check Inquiry and strengthen our advocacy efforts with Members of Parliament. Together, we can fight for better resources and working conditions, improved staffing levels, and enhanced care for children and young people – particularly in those first 2000 days of their life. Make your expertise count and help us advocate for the changes that matter most to you and your colleagues. Thank you for taking the time to participate!
