New South Wales nurses and midwives have voted to take strike action next week, with the union saying its members are 'fed up with being ignored' by the state government.

"Across the state, the message to the NSW government is clear: we need safe staffing ratios and we need them NOW." Nurses and midwives launched strike action on multiple occasions this year, with the union declaring its members are"angry" and"fed up with being ignored".

NSW nurses and midwives will go on strike next Thursday. Pictured here is strike action on March 31.

This is not sustainable."
