The ANMF encourages members to contact Member Support if they have any current issues in the workplace regarding the Omicron COVID-19 response or any other issue. We are unable to visit onsite due to the current Public Health Directive. If you would like to meet with your organiser via zoom or offsite, please contact our Member Support Team via email at membersupport@anmftas.org.au
TasIVF/Hobart Specialist Day Hospital (HSDH)
The ANMF is still waiting to hear from TasIVF following the Christmas break regarding the continuation of Enterprise Agreement negotiations. Members are considering a 2% per annum wage increase over a shortened period of a 2-year agreement. Advancement to level 2 is still under discussion.
The ANMF has not received a reply from management regarding the preparedness TasIVF and HSDH have for the current Omicron variant of COVID-19. This includes details of the outbreak management plan they have in place to keep staff and clients and patients safe, and the plan for staff should they need to be tested and isolate. If you have any concerns about these or any other issue in your workplace, please contact our Member Support Team via email at membersupport@anmftas.org.au
