The Close Observation Unit (COU) & Medical Ward 12 Hour Shift Proposal

The ANMF received a Change proposal for consultation from THS management on Friday 28 January 2022. The proposal outlines the short-term implementation of 12-hour shifts as an interim safe staffing strategy to support the Pandemic response. The ANMF will review the proposal and provide advice to members of their entitlements should they elect to move to 12-hour shifts. Keep an eye on your email for updates and the opportunity to have your say. In the meantime, if you have questions or concerns please contact our Member Support Team via email at membersupport@anmftas.org.au

A note from North West Community Engagement Officer Nicki Hood

The past few weeks have seen Nicki dropping into Aged Care facilities along the North West coast visiting members in the workplace. She also got the chance to spend time in the Rooke Street Mall speaking to members of the community about the ANMF Aged Care campaign, and she reported that it was so encouraging to hear from members of the Devonport community who overwhelmingly support the need for a change in Aged Care. “It’s not too much to ask” postcards were handed out and signed by community members. Thank you for your support! Click here to support the campaign.

Updates correct as at 17 February 2022.
