It started with a simple demand: real recognition for the heroes who keep our healthcare system alive. In November 2024, SEIU Healthcare called on the federal government to deliver something tangible for nurses and PSWs- a $1,100 Health Care Heroes Tax Credit. Just months later, that fight paid off. In Budget 2025, Prime Minister Carney announced the credit as part of his Care Worker Commitment- a direct response to SEIU Healthcare’s campaign and the voices of thousands of frontline members who refused to be ignored. This is more than a tax credit – it’s proof that when healthcare workers organize, governments listen and change follows.
