The QNU has embarked upon a series of email campaigns to convey our deep dissatisfaction with the Newman Government’s job cuts and outsourcing of services.
Queensland needs you to join in. Stand up for your public health services and jobs for nurses and midwives. It could be your local health service which is cut next.
 | Hands off Sunshine Coast public hospitals!As part of its plan to privatise Queensland’s free public hospital system, the Newman Government is considering the sale of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) to a private health service provider. This is a devastating blow for everyone in Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service. |
 | Newman's nursing and midwifery cuts are unnecessary and unsafeSend your message to Premier Campbell Newman and Treasurer Tim Nicholls protesting against the cuts and forced closures to Queensland’s public health services. Another Premier Newman broken promise means thousands of nursing, midwifery and other clinical and support positions are being slashed across Queensland public hospitals and community health services. |
 | Say NO to health worker job cuts in TownsvilleThe Townsville Hospital and Health Board recently announced 200 health worker job cuts from Townsville Hospital, including 45 nursing positions. Chair of the Board John Bearne has cited the need to ‘contain costs’ as the reason for the cuts.
