Fix the Cancer Crisis in Victoria
23 October 2012
The Baillieu government is ignoring the crisis in cancer care in Victoria. There is a severe shortage of medical physicists due to non-competitive salaries in Victoria. No physicists = no radiation treatment for cancer.
The shortage of medical physicists, the people that help give life-saving cancer treatments, in Victoria is approaching a critical point. They are moving interstate for better paid positions at the same time physicists cannot be attracted to Victoria to fill new and vacant positions.
The HSU Victoria Number 4 Branch have been bargaining since Janaury 2012 to fix the cancer crisis.
The total Victorian health budget is $13.68 billion but it would cost only $2 million per year to fix the cancer crisis.
And while the Baillieu government delays cancer sufferers in Victoria are being denied access to timely radiation therapy treatments.
We need your help to fix the cancer crisis.
