Patient with hallucinations waits in Sydney hospital ED for five days amid psychiatrists dispute Some people experiencing psychotic episodes have waited days at an inner-city hospital emergency department, according to a source

EXPLAINED: Why NSW Psychiatrists Are Planning A Mass Exodus
YouTube video by The Project EXPLAINED: Why NSW Psychiatrists Are Planning A Mass Exodus

Instead of burying our head in the sand and continuing to prop up a broken system, Psychiatrists are standing up to a gov that has shown no genuine interest in improving mental health care. #auspol #psychsky @theprojecttv.bsky.social

Well, as a former public specialist, I was a civil servant, as was every doctor, nurse and other staff member with whom I worked. I actually believe there are a lot of good bureaucrats - but my public sector colleagues aren’t dealing with the good ones.

The NSW Health directive to locum agencies was they could offer up to $3050/day. Given there’s a 20% commission to the agency, this means it may cost NSW taxpayers up to $3660/day. That’s much more than Staff Specialists earn.
