Aged Care Updates – Statewide

Southern Cross Care Tasmania

Marys Grange

Marys Grange formally closed on Friday 26 February.

Rosary Gardens

The ANMF, on behalf of members working at Southern Cross Care Rosary Gardens, are preparing further correspondence on behalf of members regarding rosters, staffing, clinical support and governance issues amongst other matters.

Fairway Rise

The ANMF met with members at Southern Cross Care Fairway Rise on 10 March 2021.

Member Communications and Engagement Update

Our ANMF Member Communications and Engagement Officer in the South, Mandy, visited several aged care facilities over the past weeks, including Southern Cross Care’s Fairway Rise, Guilford Young Grove, and Sandown Village facilities, Uniting AgeWell Ningana and Queenborough Rise sites, Glenview’s Karongee Village, Huon Regional Care Nubeena, and Menarock Life The Gardens. During these visits, Mandy was able to discuss workload matters with members, and have a more general catch-up. There seems to be a common issue across the aged care sector, with staff feeling overworked and struggling to ensure that all aspects of care are completed within the current care hours. The ANMF will continue to advocate for our aged care members both locally and Federally on a site-by-site basis as well as more broadly through our Aged Care Campaign and the Royal Commission findings.

Updates correct as at 17 March 2021.
Authorised by Emily Shepherd, ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary
