ANMF Newsflash: Covid Testing Clinic

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Tasmanian Branch (ANMF) is concerned that with the Tasmanian borders open, resources are being quickly relocated and opening hours extended to manage testing and vaccinations in Tasmania.

As we are not sure who is working in these clinics, we have sent this to all members – please ignore if it does not apply to you.

If you are working in a COVID-19 testing or vaccination clinics over the next week, it would be appreciated if you can complete this survey, by clicking the button below, for the ANMF. We wish to ensure your industrial rights are being met including access to sufficient PPE, rest breaks and appropriate working conditions.

The survey will be open until 0900 hours on Sunday 9 January 2022.

ANMF would like to thank members for providing this information. Please note, the offices of ANMF are closed from 24 December 2021 until Monday 3 January 2022 inclusive.

We know that many of you will be working over Christmas/New Year in clinics as well as the hospital setting, and we thank you for helping to care for and protect members of the Tasmanian Community.
