Guaranteed paid special leave for Victorian ambulance workers
Ambulance Employees Australia - Victoria (AEAV) is demanding that Ambulance Victoria guarantee sufficient paid special leave for ALL employees.
We believe no AV employee should be worse off by having to confront COVID-19 and that Ambulance Victoria should provide sufficient paid special leave if:
- Staff contract COVID-19
- Staff are required to self-isolate
- Staff have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19
- Staff have caring responsibilities as a result of COVID-19
Why is this important?
All Ambulance Victoria staff place a vital role in our community helping Victorians when they are most in need.
The exponential increase in confirmed COVID-19 cases highlights a new threat faced by Ambulance Victoria’s staff working on the frontline to protect Victoria at this crucial time.
