Nurses, paramedics and teachers in NSW could miss out on more than $10,000 over the next three years as the result of the state's three per cent wages cap.

A report commissioned by Unions NSW and authored by Griffith University Professor David Peetz says the public sector pay cap will leave a nurse worse off by $10,136, a paramedic by $10,281 and a teacher by $12,806, when adjusted for inflation between now and 2026.
