Nearly 200 NSW psychiatrists plan to resign over pay and funding disputes, hitting mental health services hard.
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.
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.
NSW Health is setting up a new mental health operations center and seeking additional workforce capacity to mitigate the crisis.
The dispute highlights the broader issues of understaffing and inadequate funding in mental health care.
