Episode Details

Victorian public hospital doctors have voted to strike for the first time in 50 years, staging a four-hour stop work outside State Parliament on Thursday from 1:30pm to 5:30pm. The industrial action is in response to stressful working conditions and fatigue among both trainee and senior doctors in the public hospital system. Emergency departments are exempt from the strike, with organisers assuring that patient safety will be maintained.
