flag Nearly 200 psychiatrists in New South Wales, including nine from the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District, are set to resign on January 20 due to a pay dispute and concerns about the mental health system. flag The resignations, which will severely impact emergency departments and surgical wards, follow the state government's offer of a 10.5% pay increase over three years, opposed to the 25% sought by psychiatrists. flag NSW Health is setting up a new mental health operations center and seeking additional workforce capacity to mitigate the crisis. flag The dispute highlights the broader issues of understaffing and inadequate funding in mental health care.
