The New Zealand Health Charter – Te Mauri o Rongo

APEX has launched an ongoing programme of work around The New Zealand Health Charter – Te Mauri o Rongo. This work will promote the Charter as a tool for change in health workplace and conduct annual Health Charter Checkups to hold employers accountable for its implementation.

Pay Equity

Pay equity recognises that whilst two jobs may involve substantially different work, they may require the same level of skill, effort, responsibility, and qualifications.

Health & Safety

Unions provide a balance in the workplace and help address the inherent inequality of power in employment relationships and nowhere is that more important than when it comes to protecting the safety of our members and others in the workplace (including patients, visitors and students).

Superannuation

The retirees of 2022 will be those born in 1955 when the life expectancy for males was 68, and for females 73. Life expectancy is now 80 for males, and 83.5 for females – we are living 13-15% longer, with men having 12 more years of retirement, and women having 10 more years of retirement they need to plan and save for.
