ANMF COVID-19 Newsflash: Southern Cross Care Tasmania – Statewide

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Tasmanian Branch (ANMF) met with Southern Cross Care Tasmania (SCCT) members from across the state in a Zoom meeting on 25 January 2022.

Despite being unable to attend many work sites in person – the meeting was well attended and presented a great opportunity for members to raise issues with the ANMF and provide feedback about working conditions across the state.

COVID-19
The ANMF wrote to your employer regarding several inquiries pertaining to the COVID-19 Omicron outbreak. SCCT committed to delivering a response to the ANMF by COB Monday 24 January 2022, however this has not yet been received. We will notify members as soon as this information is available, however we encourage all members to contact the ANMF should they have any concerns.

EBA Protected Action Ballot vote
From this meeting, several people identified that they had not received their ballot paper for the upcoming Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) vote. If this is the case, we encourage members who have not received their paper to contact the AEC immediately.
