Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — On Monday, 15th of June we celebrated International Cleaners Day. Today, I say thank you to the unsung heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cleaners across every industry have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic, ensuring that our schools, workplaces, hospitals and public transport are clean and safe! I would like to pay special tribute to the cleaners in our health care and aged care system. Throughout the pandemic, our cleaners have risked their own health in order to serve others. Today we say thank you for the essential work you do and for keeping our hospitals running and keeping patients, nurses, doctors and visitors safe. Thanks also to the Health Services Union for the work they do in supporting out cleaners and other front line workers. On Monday I joined the HSU and the Prince of Wales Hospital and was able to thank some of our hard working, local hospital cleaners in person. Thank you to the HSU and the staff at the Prince of Wales Hospital for recognising the vital role of cleaners in our hospitals and our community.
