Why join APEX?
What makes APEX unique is that each professional group is autonomous, taking direction and instruction from its own members. Your particular group’s needs do not get drowned in a larger multi-profession bargaining environment. You decide your own profession’s terms and conditions.
At the same time, being part of APEX gives you the security of a strong collective group with benefits like: more bargaining power; providing an effective, proactive voice for health professionals on the national stage and having a targeted media presence; protection from unfair treatment at work; protection in times of change, eg: restructuring, contracting out or redundancy situations.
