The AESB Executive Committee and all of us here at HACSU wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

If you’re working, we hope the festive season is uneventful and you get to enjoy any downtime you manage to grab – and if you are lucky enough to get a break, enjoy it!

For a little light reading here’s the latest edition of Ambulance Active magazine with lots of information from New Zealand about their industrial action campaign. It also includes the story of the paramedic from South Australia who was charged after an MVA and then found not guilty 4 years later.

If you need us urgently while we’re closed, from midday on the 24th until 4January, contact a delegate as they all have Chris Kennedy's direct number or email him at chris.kennedy@hacsu.org.au, while for non-pressing issues call 1300 880 032 or email assist@hacsu.org.au.

Let’s hope the coming year is less challenging than the one we leave behind, but no matter what 2021 brings we look forward to standing with you for all of it.

Thanks for all your hard, essential work in 2020.
