The ANMF conducted a meeting with members on 6 August 2020. Members discussed several issues and correspondence has been sent to Southern Cross Care management to communicate this. We encourage any members with workplace concerns to contact the ANMF.

Sandown Apartments

The ANMF visited Southern Cross Care Sandown Apartments on 30 July 2020, to discuss proposed roster changes with members. A staff meeting was being held that afternoon to allow staff feedback. Later that day Southern Cross Care management announced they were suspending their intention to change rosters, to instead focus on COVID-19 preparations. The ANMF have submitted correspondence on behalf of members to express our intention to represent members in the change consultation process. ANMF will be in contact with members via email shortly.

The ANMF have directed several previously raised concerns from members to Southern Cross Care management in person, and by email over the past weeks.
