Calvary

ANMF members at Calvary sites are rightly frustrated by the failure of their employer to declare a position regarding support for casual employees. The COVID-19 environment is an ever changing situation, and the Federal Government have announced that elective surgery can be phased back in from 27th April 2020. However,  there is no clarity about the position of Calvary with the Hospitals Support Package, or with their plans regarding a restart of elective surgery. The ANMF were informed that a Calvary National Executive meeting on Wednesday 22 April 2020, would provide some clarity but  there has been no announcement. We continue to press Calvary on behalf of members on a regular basis and will inform you of any progress via email as it comes to hand.

Healthscope

Healthscope have committed to supporting all staff, including casuals, through the COVID-19 lockdown. They are planning to restart elective surgery from 27th April 2020 or soon after as approved by the Federal Government. The ANMF continue to advocate for and work with members of Healthscope during this uncertain period.

Midlands Multi-Purpose Centre

The ANMF have received correspondence from management finalising some outstanding after hours security matters. As a result of member concerns and the ANMF letter, management have taken the following steps:

  • Invited the THS Occupational Violence and Aggression Advisor to the facility to support staff
  • Followed up and reviewed procedures regarding iPM patient alerts and staff security after hours
  • Reviewed and improved procedures regarding Plan of Care for after-hours presentations
  • Scheduled a debrief and ongoing support for staff about these matters when suitable
  • Reviewed after hours security arrangements
  • Management have referred the episode for broader review by Primary Health Management meeting

The ANMF will be in contact with members soon to provide ongoing support and assistance with this and other matters.

Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS)

The ANMF have corresponded with management on behalf of members regarding the COVID-19 precautions in place at the Hobart facility. As a result ARCBS have reviewed and clarified matters to the satisfaction of members.

Updates correct as at 29 April 2020.
