Primary Health Care MECA
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.
The PHC (Primary Health Care) MECA. The ratification ballot closed at 12 noon on 23 September and members voted to accept the proposed collective agreement.
Pay parity remains our priority, and the fight to close that gap continues over the next year as we prepare for the next round of bargaining.
