The ANF WA charges membership fees every year, but what do you actually get for it?
By comparison the NPASA and other Red Unions are also the most contactable and highest rated unions in Australia.
Nurses & Midwives need a union. That’s why the Nurses’ Professional Association of Western Australia (NPAWA) exists; to be a union that actually works for nurses and midwives. The old, bloated, monopolistic and uncontactable style just doesn’t work. Members of the old monopolies are just not getting what they pay for.
Unions should provide high-quality services to their members and be accountable and be contactable by their members. For nurses & midwives, the union should provide PI insurance and high-quality services.
Unfortunately, many nurses have been let down by the existing nurses' unions. As a monopolies, they have been overcharging their members and under-delivering.
Even when they do pick up the phone - do they actually help? Have you ever been kept waiting, or told "sorry, we can't or won't take your case?"
Don’t you deserve better?
The NPAWA is a nurses' union that was created by nurses to provide a better alternative to the existing monopolies. We believe in providing high-quality services to our members, being accountable and most of all contactable.
We understand that nurses have busy lives and that their time is valuable. That's why we are committed to picking up the phone fast (under 45 seconds) and providing same-day responses to our members' email inquiries.
We believe that our members should have access to timely and accurate information so that they can make informed decisions about their careers and their lives.
In addition, we provide (the same) PI Insurance nurses require for their registration, in addition to workplace protection. We understand that nursing is a challenging profession that comes with inherent risks. That's why we offer comprehensive workplace protection and insurance to our members. We believe that our members should be able to focus on their jobs without having to worry about their safety, security, support or the need to become Industrial Relations experts overnight.
Nurses deserve better. Nurses deserve a union that provides high-quality services, timely responses, and comprehensive workplace protections and insurances. Nurses deserve a union that responds to them.
We invite all WA nurses & midwives who want to pay less for a union that will actually pick up the phone and help - join us.
