ANMF Tasmanian Branch - Budget Submission

ANMF Tasmanian Branch – Budget Submission

As part of the 2021-22 Tasmanian State Budget development process, ANMF Tasmanian Branch submits that funding for health care services must increase to support the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and adequately resource the State’s existing health services in order to provide safe and quality health care.

Nurses and Midwives have been pivotal in responding to and managing the COVID-19 pandemic and have worked incredibly hard across the health care system. It is therefore essential that through the budget, funding is delivered to assure safe staffing of health care services with retention and recruitment of staff considered a critical priority as well as resourcing and staffing existing health services in order to meet demand.

Updates correct as at 19 March 2021.
