Lower Fees, Without The Politics

- Membership fees are approximately 50% less than QNMU.
Improved Working Conditions
- NPAQ helps and advises working nurses to openly negotiate enterprise agreements, with a focus on practical outcomes in each workplace.
Putting Nurses' Interests First
- Focusing on patient care – not on paperwork. By reducing administration, we aim to let nurses ‘nurse again’.
- Any savings should be passed on as pay rises to nurses not funding administration/HR.
A Choice in Representation
- Only nurses – not the government – should choose who represents and protects them.
- This means all NPAQ nurses – not union officials – have a real say in the running of the health system.
