WHO: Allied Health workers, their union - the Public Service Association Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi, their whānau, and their communities. Allied Health are a 15,000 strong workforce across more than 70 professions including pharmacists, osteopaths, mental health and addictions clinicians, lab tech workers, dietitians, and many more.
WHY: For too long, people working in Allied Health have been undervalued. The Hour of Power is a celebration of Allied health workers and what they do, and a call to people in Aotearoa to support their pay equity claim being delivered as soon as possible.
