Victoria’s public sector frontline health staff will get a one-off payment of $3000 (US$2,200) as part of an inducement scheme to attract and retain workers in the state’s public healthcare.

Those who work in public hospitals and in the ambulance service field will be given a one-off cash payment and free meals, by the state government as a way of retaining staff as the sector braces for a busy winter virus season.
