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.
