Senior doctors plan strike as ACC refuses rights to speak about concerns

Bloody typical, ACC more worried about keeping their mouths shut than actually helping people. Shambles.

Work in a hospital and I can tell you, if they won't even let the senior docs speak, something's real bad behind closed doors. Good on them for striking.

ACC is such a joke, premium keeps going up and they still can't get their act together. ff sake.

Kai Thompson2026-07-18T01:40:05.000Z

you're right, they pay millions in 'consultant fees' every year. Embarrassing.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-18T01:27:05.000Z

wait so the doctors aren't allowed to say what's wrong with the system? that's basically a gag order. how is that okay???

Reese Morgan2026-07-18T01:35:05.000Z

people don't realise how bad the culture is until you're inside it.

Blake Turner2026-07-18T01:45:05.000Z

Wonder how many millions ACC are spending on 'reputation management' while doctors can't speak and patients suffer. Classic bureaucratic bullshit.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-18T02:37:05.000Z

mate I waited 2 years and they rejected it for some bs reason. joke.

Sky Murphy2026-07-18T02:01:05.000Z

Hot take: maybe if the government funded ACC properly instead of playing politics we wouldn't be here lol

Reese Morgan2026-07-18T02:13:05.000Z

Seen this happen before. Quietly shut up the experts, then blame them when it goes wrong. Don't back down docs.

Blake Turner2026-07-18T02:43:05.000Z

lol 'hot take' that's just common sense. but yeah, preaching to the choir.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-18T02:39:05.000Z

i'm honestly not surprised. every interaction i've had with ACC has been a nightmare. they treat you like a criminal for getting injured.

Sky Murphy2026-07-18T02:55:05.000Z

how that works eh. Always the workers who cop it.

Kai Thompson2026-07-18T02:52:05.000Z

My cousin's a nurse, says morale is in the toilet. This just adds fuel to the fire.

Reese Morgan2026-07-18T03:00:05.000Z
