About the campaign...
Every day Nursing Students deliver frontline care in hospitals, clinics and communities. They do the same vital work as paid staff, while racking up thousands of unpaid hours and paying for travel, parking and meals - all while still covering tuition fees. It’s not fair. It’s not sustainable. And it’s pushing future nurses to the brink.
Placements are work, and work deserves pay.
What we’re fighting for:
1. Paid Placements
We’re pushing for all nursing and healthcare students to be paid for their placements. Because real work deserves real pay, simple as that.
2. National Change
We’re backing the Royal College of Nursing’s call for a full review of healthcare student funding. The system’s broken and it’s time the Government fixed it.
3. Local Action
We’re acting now by being clear about the real costs of healthcare courses, including uniforms, DBS checks, transport and parking. We’re launching a second-hand uniform sale, creating a pre-placement guide for HSC students, and pushing for better local support, including lower travel costs, more discounts and increased Hardship Loans
