Thousands of Australian workers across the health sector will walk off the job on Thursday in a state-wide strike across New South Wales (NSW), demanding a higher pay rise.

Health Services Union (HSU) said that with the latest inflation figures at 3.5 percent and expected to rise, health and hospital workers needed a pay rise higher than 2.5 percent.
