The Primary Health Care Multi Employer Collective Agreement (PHC MECA) covers around 3500 NZNO members including: registered nurses, practice nurses, midwives, enrolled nurses, health care assistants, medical receptionists and administrators. 

Where things stand: The employer team has gone away to review our proposed MECA. We expect a response soon and will update you as soon as there is news.
