Private Sector Updates – Statewide

Healthscope Hobart Private and St Helen’s Hospitals

The ANMF is waiting for Healthscope to respond to the draft Enterprise Agreement comments that we sent to them recently. We will notify members when there is any further response.

The ANMF has asked Healthscope about the availability of masks and fit testing and has been reassured that there are appointments and several choices of masks available if you are yet to be fit tested. If you have any reason to believe this is not the case, please contact our Member Support Team at member.support@anmftas.org.au

The ANMF will be visiting the Hobart Private Hospital on Tuesday 22 February 2022, in Room 327, from 1445 -1545hrs to catch up with members and discuss any concerns.

TasIVF/Hobart Specialist Day Hospital (HSDH)

The ANMF has still not heard from TasIVF following the Christmas break regarding the continuation of Enterprise Agreement (EA) 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 written to TasIVF to ask when bargaining might continue.

The ANMF has concerns that management have said that there is no need to fit test staff working at TasIVF/HSDH. We have requested an answer to the reasons for not undertaking fit testing in Tasmania and are awaiting a reply.

North West Private Hospital (NWPH)

ANMF officials met with the North West Private Hospital on Tuesday 8 February 2022 to formally endorse the Log of Claims (LoC) for the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) Meeting. The first EBA meeting was held via Zoom on Tuesday 15 February 2022 where the LoC was presented. Further meetings will be scheduled with members once a response is received.

Calvary South

Lenah Valley and St John’s Hospitals

The ANMF met with Calvary management on Tuesday 8 February 2022 to discuss fit testing and other issues. We were informed that WorkSafe Tasmania has placed a Provisional Improvement Notice (PIN) regarding fit testing at both sites, with fit testing needing to be completed by Thursday 31 March 2022. Calvary has assured the ANMF it is continuing fit testing for staff. An email with all the details of this meeting will be sent to members.

The Workplace Consultative Committee (WCC) meeting was held on Wednesday 9 February 2022 with discussions taking place regarding workload issues in a number of areas. The next meeting is on Friday 6 April 2022 and the areas to be discussed are 1st East LVH and St John’s Theatre. The ANMF has again highlighted that staff have difficulty attending these meetings and has asked Calvary to facilitate members attendance to make the meetings more productive. If you would like to attend the next meeting, please ask your manager, or contact the ANMF. Please continue to submit Calvary Internal Workload forms with any workload issues so that Calvary management is aware of workload concerns.

Calvary Home Care

The ANMF has written to HR again to meet regarding staffing and workload concerns.

Calvary – Northern Hospitals

The ANMF met with Calvary Health Care Director of Clinical Services to discuss the ongoing workload concerns which have been raised in multiple wards.

Updates correct as at 17 February 2022.
Authorised by Emily Shepherd, ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary
