Changes to leadership at SCCT

The ANMF encourages members to feedback issues related to absence or instability of leadership in SCCT sites, and members are encouraged to look after themselves and their colleagues in these unreasonable situations. Please use internal SCCT reporting systems if you can, to highlight the impact on your workload and morale.
