The ANMF has received concerning reports about workplace issues at Peace Haven. These issues were discussed at a meeting with members on 31 March 2021. Outcomes from this meeting will be emailed to members shortly.

Regis Legana

During a meeting with members in February, attendees expressed a hope to resolve workload concerns at Regis Legana in a staff-wide forum. This meeting was scheduled to be held on 24 March, however, due to administrative errors the meeting was rescheduled to 23 March without notification being provided to the ANMF. The ANMF is rescheduling a meeting with all staff at Regis Legana, however, will meet separately with members to determine the preferred course of action. Meeting dates will be sent to members via email soon.
