Case Win: Relocation Pay Dispute

Advocacy & Support for Nurses

Excited by the promise of a $10,000 relocation package, Jess, a dedicated member of the NPAA Victorian branch, made a life-changing decision to move from the UK. But what seemed like a smooth transition quickly turned into quite the ordeal.

Despite several attempts to communicate with the hospital that had promised the relocation package, Jess received no confirmation about the timeframe or payment. The lack of responsiveness and clarity from the hospital was alarming and left Jess in a stressful situation. Determined to resolve this, she turned to the NPAA for assistance.

Jess was assigned a skilled case manager to help her navigate the workplace issue. Together, they drafted a compelling letter outlining the hospital's responsibilities and the agreed-upon terms of the relocation package.

The result? Within days of the hospital receiving the letter, they sent remittance advice to Jess, confirming the $10,000 payment was on its way to her bank account.
