In 2014, workers at SCGH cancelled some surgeries, treatments and diagnostic tests and rescheduled after health service workers and the state government failed to reach agreement over a pay increase <ref>{{Citation | author1=WA Today | title=SCGH hospital strike goes ahead over pay dispute | publication-date=2014 | url=https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/scgh-hospital-strike-goes-ahead-over-pay-dispute-20140714-zt75m.html/}}</ref>. Over 500 workers at SCGH stopped work contributing to industrial action after HSUWA refused to accept a 2.75 per cent increase in staff wages, while politicians were offered a 3.8 per cent pay increase and doctors and nurses were offered a 4 per cent pay increase. The strike resulted in the cancellation of 21 scheduled elective surgeries, and also affected Allied Health outpatient services. <ref>{{Citation | author1=Government News | title=WA Public hospitals hit by rolling strikes | publication-date=2014 | url=https://www.governmentnews.com.au/wa-public-hospitals-hit-rolling-strikes/}}</ref>. |
