Public Sector Updates – South

Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH)

Maternity Services

The ANMF has received from Tasmanian Health Service (THS) management a final copy of the Birth-rate-Plus Benchmarking results from the venture conducted on Wednesday 22 December 2021. The THS has informed that the outcomes (a 6.99FTE increase in Midwifery resources across the service) were being compiled into a business case for submission to Executive as soon as possible. The ANMF is happy to advise members of this positive outcome and thank them for their participation in the Grievance process to date.

Emergency Department (ED)

The ANMF has remained in constant contact with Emergency Department local management and members alike, attempting to raise/resolve workplace issues if/when they come to light. Should members have ongoing or new concerns they wish to raise, they are encouraged to do so via our Member Support Team at membersupport@anmftas.org.au

General Surgical Unit (K9W)

The ANMF on Thursday 24 February 2022 attended a Grievance update meeting for the General Surgical Unit, including the actions/outcomes associated with the Shared Governance. THS management has spoken favourably of the perceived outcomes, however the ANMF has committed to running of a survey of members as well as conducting feedback meetings in order to directly assess what impact these programs have had on workloads in real terms. Members will be provided a copy of the survey and advised of scheduled meeting times via separate emails.

Statewide Mental Health Services (SMHS) – Reform Project

The ANMF continues to work with members and senior SMHS management to identify and resolve ongoing issues/concerns associated with the Mental Health Reform Project. Specifically, this concerns the impacts to the Continuing Care Service and the mooted expansion of operation-hours for the same. The ANMF will continue to advocate on behalf of members to ensure that any/all relevant protocols, policies, and formal commitments applicable to the process are brought to fruition prior to instigation of any change.

SMHS – Adult Community Mental Health Service (ACMHS)

On Tuesday 1 March 2022, the ANMF met with members from across the three ACMHS South Teams to take feedback on the SMHS response to Step One Grievance letter. Ensuing discussions were vigorous and productive and resulted in passing of a resolution to escalate these matters to a Step Two Grievance as soon as possible. The ANMF has committed to writing to management on members’ behalf to this end and will advise separately when an initial Specialist Panel meeting has been confirmed.

Updates correct as at 3 March 2022.
