Update: Nepean radiographers re-grade application process

Update: Nepean radiographers re-grade application process

Monday 2 March, 2026

Last year, HSU members raised serious concerns regarding several Nepean radiographers having their regrades denied by management, despite completing advanced degrees and relevant training.
  • While radiography members had done everything correctly to gain their re-grades, management has cited a change in policy to knock them back.
     
  • On Monday, 23 February, several HSU members attended the Industrial Relations Commission (the Commission) to have their case heard.
     
  • NBMLHD continued to deny the members' regrades.
     
  • The Ministry of Health (the Ministry) has now been involved as the decisionmaker.
     
  • HSU representatives will return to the Commission in another week to take the matter to the Ministry.
