Southern Cross Care

The ANMF has been contacted by members at Southern Cross Care who have raised concerns regarding their employers response to the COVID 19 pandemic as well as staff, client and community safety concerns. A formal response has been received by the ANMF and can be found  here. The ANMF will be scheduling a meeting with members shortly to seek further direction on actions moving forward.

Further, Southern Cross Care and the ANMF have met to discuss a replacement Enterprise Agreement.  Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, these discussions have been interrupted.  The employer has written to the ANMF with the following proposal:

  • Maintain all conditions in the current agreement;
  • Provide a 3% wage increase effective on or from 24 February 2020 (noting that a 2% pay increase has already been allocated since that date)
  • Continue with negotiations once the COVID-19 uncertainty settles (at this stage we are aiming for October 2020)

The ANMF sent a survey out to members via text on Tuesday 28 April 2020. This survey is to seek members opinion on the proposal. If you have not done so already, please respond to this survey. If you did not receive a text or email please contact us.

Medea Park

Management at Medea Park have requested a video conference with ANMF to discuss and resolve discrepancies in the draft Agreement that has been provided for ballot. This meeting is scheduled for mid May at which time further updates will be communicated to members via email.
