In addition, ANMF is currently exploring options for a resolution to ongoing roster concerns.

New Norfolk District Hospital

The ANMF met with members this week at the New Norfolk District Hospital to discuss workloads, rosters, skill mix, and clinical support. Members advised that they are satisfied that these matters are well managed, with plans to add an extra layer of clinical and logistical support progressing.

Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT)

The ANMF met with members at Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT) south sites on 6 August 2020 to discuss their concerns in relation to the Tasmanian Mental Health Reform Project (TMHRP) working groups. A letter was sent from the ANMF, on behalf of members, to Executive Director Mental Health Services Adie Gibbons. The ANMF received a response to this letter on 25 August 2020 and a written summary has been sent to members via email, which can be read here. A follow up meeting has been arranged to discuss the formal response to member’s concerns on 4 September 2020 at the Carruthers Building, St John’s Park.
