    Best free ride ever

    So tempted to down vote so there's less people…

    • +9

      If they're in such a poor financial situation then they should be in paid work not volunteering.

        • +8

          Why specify mothers, a majority of volunteers I see are elderly people but you seem to have an obsession with one specific demographic without reason. Even if you were to allow volunteering mothers as you say why don't we also provide volunteering fathers free entry?

    • +3

      They do offer it to some volunteers. Eg. SES.

      Also, many mothers that I know have jobs.

      KTHXBAI

    People pay to wade around in other peoples piss? geez

    • +15

      Are you talking about the deal or this comment section?

  • +3

    What about bargain professionals… Where's their discount day ;)

  • I might go

    • +1

      You would have to go between the 4th to 7th of February then.

  • -3

    Who thinks the selected professions are BS? I don't get it. Why do they deserve it more than people who have shitty jobs like toilet cleaners, manure bag fillers, etc?

    • -7

      you just got negged by people all in the jobs that were offered tickets.

      • Doubt it, probably negged by people sick of hearing how butt hurt people are that didn't get a free ticket.

        • -1

          people like you?

        • -3

          @first in line:

          If it makes you feel any better I didn't neg you, but I'll do so now because yes, I am sick of hearing it. Get over it.

  • none of the public sector people are keen about getting wet n wild, except maybe firefighters

    • +1

      They're called firemen for a reason

      • -2

        9 teachers disliked my post lawl

  • No worry, every one else can also get wet'n'wild for free. With Sydney's recent crazy wet and wild weather, you just have to go outdoor for your free treat :)

  • +2

    What about the IT people?

    You know, the people who make it possible for all these other 'heroes' to communicate and do their jobs?

    • +32

      Do they have a Wet 'n' Wild in India though?

      • They would need to create another period which would also include call centre workers.

      • +3

        Yes, many theme parks better than WnW

      • -1

        Lol…

        Yeah. OZBargain is in oz tho… They're IT people too.

      Why so bitter?

  • You guys reckon I could pass as an academic teaching staff with my university staff ID?

    • Of course

    Doctors, Nurses, Carers & Social Service Workers

    Awesome. My doctor friends who are on about $300K can get free entry to Wet'n'Wild !!! I'll pass it on to them…

    • +6

      You have friends?

      • +3

        Sorry, I used the wrong word. They are more like groupies…

    • +9

      My thoughts exactly.
      It's hardly like Doctors are unsung local heroes slogging it out for minimum wage.
      That's not to say that they do not work hard, blah, blah, blah but do they really need freebies at Wet and Wild on top of all the freebies they get from drug reps et al?
      Personally I don't see why teachers deserve it either but that's just me.
      Cops - huh, they already get plenty of freebies (and that's just the legit ones).
      I'd much rather the unpaid vollies than paid workers get freebies.

      • Well said…

      • +3

        True but nurses and similar do deserve it, they are often working double shifts at not much above minimum wage often in understaffed conditions and without much benefits. I think if you included all the others there it would be hard not to include Doctors.

        • +1

          true but nurses and similar do deserve it,

          Nurses are quite well paid. Well above the average wage.

        • +1

          @jv:

          when I'm sick or dying in hospital, I hope the person looking after me is above average

        • @SBOB:

          Hopefully they will be trained and registered.

        • +1

          @jv: My mum works in an ED.. The pay wouldn't motivate me when you get covered in a drunks spew, or chased around the ED by an ice addict tripping out, or ferals screaming and banging that their sniffle isn't being treated as a higher priority than someone having a heart attack. There's no security guards anymore (as the hospital budget has been slashed), so they have to wait for the cops to come.

          But her colleague got an unintentional benefit in having increased motivation to quit smoking when a patient she was working on drowned in his own blood after his lung cancer hemorrhaged.. Apparently it was the look of panic on his face that turned the trick.

          I'm just happy that there are people who are stupid enough to actually want to do this as a career. But I suppose people say that about IT too.

      • In my opinion, a doctor who works in any of the public hospitals I have visited recently deserves the appreciation.

        Someone who works up to 16 hours with no break to make sure my loved one is okay, they deserve a free turn on a water slide. This goes for the nurses, paramedics, police and admin staff associated.

        @jv a majority of public health doctors are not making 300k base, not based on their award wages. And for the ones who are, 15+ years of studying to get to where they are is a hard thing to undermine.

        • @jv a majority of public health doctors are not making 300k base

          Many GPs make at least that… Specialists make a lot more…

    • +2

      You missed "medical specialists". Everytime I go its about a 10 minute consult for $400.

      • +1

        Yes, they deserve free Wet&Wild tickets too…

        They'll probably charge a fee whilst waiting in the queue.

  • +4

    This is another stupidity of Australian businesses to believe Doctors are poor and allowing them free entry…!

    • -2

      can't say they have had good management since they began, one disaster after another. I qualify but am not interested at all even being free I would rather go to qld

    • +6

      Is it really about the money you make? I think the promotion was aimed towards what they view as high stress occupations.

      • +3

        It's about giving thanks to the people that one day might save your life.

    • It's called a thankyou; to those in service who save the lives of Australians every day!

  • +5

    The amount of butt hurt complainers in this thread is hilarious. Boohoo, you didn't get a free entry to wet n wild because you're not under one of the classified professions. Get over it.

  • How do you prove your profession on entry?

    • +1

      Name badge, pay slip etc

      • +9

        Photoshop.

        • And an ID card printer

  • +2

    I went to this last year (teacher) and it was great. There was hardly anyone there, no lines until about 1pm, when im guessing families started coming in after their Saturday sport.
    Will probably go again this year, although i notice its 4 days this year. Was only saturday/sunday last year.

    • What proof of id did you give them?

      • I used my name badge

  • +8

    What about dick smith electronics employees? they've had it tough recently.

    • Or the anxious masters employees. Especially those who moved from DSE recently.

    • +1

      No, employees are still making enough by selling all the sale shit they harvested before st he store was open on ebay

  • +3

    What an odd promotion! A waterslide joint making value judgments on us all ;)

    YOU guys are "community heroes", but no, not YOU guys…
    Hmmm, you rehabilitate injured wildlife? Get outta here ya bum, no slidies for you!
    Hey, you with the excavator, get lost! You're only a CONTRACTOR when disasters happen, but here you are with your lame non-hero family: you make me sick!

    And my job just happens to qualify, I wonder if my boss would listen to Wet'n'Wilds testimony of my worth :)

  • Ozbargain, what's the quickest teaching degree I can start and finish!????

    • +1

      Just go and create a Udemy course.

  • +1

    I hate these kind of discriminatory promotions where the promoter randomly selects a subsection of the population and hangs their hat on it as some kind of corporate good will.

  • How do you prove you're admin staff at a school?

    • I am a teacher and no teachers at our school have photo id proving this. Can't see how this would work.

      • Your school doesn't provide staff cards? Odd…

      • +1

        A recent payslip will probably work

      • +1

        As i said above, last year i used my name badge. It doesnt have a photo on it

  • +4

    They forgot to include lawyers

  • +1

    No pharmacists included in medical fields but admin staff are. okay…

    actually, I wouldn't want to go, those places are usually stinking cesspools of filth that only westy bogans go to because they dont live near the beach.

    • -2

      Because being a pharmacist is such a noble profession, humble yet caring.

      Give me a break, they hand out meds and work in a mall.

      • Yep that's all we do

        • +9

          occasionally you also look at people with suspicious eyes when they want cold and flu tablets

        • @SBOB: At least daily.

  • +2

    At least if someone has a medical emergency on the day, they can be assured of plenty of help on hand.

    Next time, I'd like to see them include Uber drivers, and leave out the cabbies. Will be fun to watch the fallout on social media.

    • My best mates dad, who does IT in a private hospital in Sydney, had a heart attack at a cardiologists conventions. Saved his life!

      • The pressure was certainly on for the doctors!

      • Hmmm… No call out fee, but I'm sure he had another heart attack when he saw the bill?

  • +1

    Police won't have time to go. In the coming days, a lot of ID cards for these professional will get stolen. Extra workloads piling up for them.

  • +1

    All those complaining that doctors and nurses get freebies are probably also the ones who won't say a word when they or their loved ones fall ill and require medical attention.

  • +1

    Do gynecologists get free entry to wet'n'wild?

  • So this person can get a free ticket ????

  • Teachers taught me to be resourceful. Anyone got time to whip up a quick random generated ID template?

  • I see they're trying to be a little more upmarket…

  • its also for movie world and seaworld apparently..

  • +1

    Practitioners eh..yeah I'm a practioner, I practice… bargaining

  • Does this count volunteer Rural Fire Service?

    • +1

      I don't think they really care so long as you bring a friend who pays.

  • +1

    Public Transport Services includes Bus Drivers, Tram/Light Rail Drivers, Ferry Operators and Train Drivers

    WTF just invite everyone!

    Truckies, courier drivers, utility workers, nrma roadside guys no wait all mechanics…..
