 What’s all this fuss over the contract system? Why did the government even implement it and what came before?

We hope this infographic will bring some clarity to the situation at hand and we urge you to join us in raising awareness on this.

“Why Are We Paid Less but Asked to Do So Much More?”

When I was a final year medical student, I gave in to peer pressure and applied for an internship in Australia.
