The public service wage cap will also be increased to 3 per cent this financial year, before going up to 3.5 per cent the next year. “Everyone in NSW is indebted to our health workers for their selfless efforts throughout the pandemic, remembering for a long time there was no vaccine and they risked their lives each day to care for patients,” he said.
