Aged Care statewide updates

Bupa South Hobart

Southern Cross Care are taking over the Bupa site on 1 December 2020. The ANMF will visit members at South Hobart on Friday 30 October to discuss the change. At this point, Southern Cross Care have committed to honour all staff contracts as they stand. We are awaiting formal correspondence about this change and will update members once this has been received.

Huon Regional Care

Following a visit to Dover on 14 October, the ANMF have agreed to attend a staff meeting in coming weeks to work with members and the new acting Facility Manager toward clarifying a number of issues, including the enrolled nurse role, recent management changes, the roster, checking of scheduled medications, and staffing structure.

Regis – Legana

The ANMF received correspondence from Regis management in September 2020, advising that they would be pursuing overpayments made in regards to staff who were mistakenly paid Public Holiday Penalties for the Launceston Cup Public Holiday on 26 February 2020 and staff who were mistakenly paid a higher laundry allowance than they were entitled to receive in the pay run period ending 12 July 2020. Additionally, a series of underpayments were made with regards to staff not receiving Annual Leave Loading on Additional Weekend Leave. Letters have been sent out to staff as a result of this. We encourage any member who may have questions about this matter to contact our Member Support Team here.

Southern Cross Care

Marys Grange

The ANMF are concerned about the announcement that Southern Cross Care Marys Grange site is to be closed. We are awaiting formal correspondence from Southern Cross Care and will arrange to meet members as soon as we have further details.

Guilford Young Grove

The ANMF welcome the appointment of a new Facility Manager. A meeting will be scheduled to meet members soon.

Sandown Apartments

The ANMF are still considering the appropriate response to Southern Cross Care reducing care hours at Sandown Apartments without consultation, and the proposed new roster.

Rosary Gardens

The ANMF are monitoring various issues at Rosary Gardens following a constructive meeting with management and a commitment from them to follow up. We will meet with members in the coming weeks to gauge progress on these issues. Members are encouraged to contact our Member Support Team with any feedback or concerns about workplace issues.

Fairway Rise

The ANMF have received further correspondence regarding the data transfer issue and a range of other matters that are in part a consequence of Southern Cross Care’s poor planning on this implementation. Members report very slow progress with the transfer, which does not bode well for all the other sites who will share this problem in coming months.

Ainslie, Glenara Lakes and Mount Esk

The ANMF continues to liaise with Southern Cross Care regarding numerous staff workload concerns. Members will receive correspondence from the ANMF via email when we receive a response back from Southern Cross Care management.

Updates correct as at 29 October 2020.
