$3000 support payments for public health services workers (Ballarat Health Services) from the Andrews Labor Government! 
Our incredible hardworking healthcare workers are continuing to do extraordinary work to protect the community and deserve much-needed support. 

A Healthcare Worker Winter Retention and Surge Payment, alongside other practical help like free meals, will soon flow to Victoria’s healthcare workers – providing much-needed support and helping to attract and retain critically important staff.

Payments of $3,000 will be made to staff working in public hospitals and ambulance services – including nurses, midwives, doctors, allied health professionals, paramedics, ward clerks and patient services assistants.
To be eligible for the full package, workers will need to be employed by a public health service by 1 July and still be employed on 30 September. The payments will be made in two rounds, one after 15 August and one after 30 September.
