Statewide Mental Health Services Spencer Clinic
Step 2 Grievance
At a member meeting on Wednesday 2 March 2022, the ANMF was directed to formally notify Mental Health Services (MHS) to have the Step 2 Grievance Specialist Panel reconvened. The ongoing sustained and unreasonable workloads, limited access to educator and skill mix issues remain of concern. Members will be kept informed of progress towards resolution.
A note from North West Engagement Officer Nicki Hood
The past fortnight has seen Nicki helping the Northern Organisers with the Roadshow, visiting six Aged Care sites, and speaking to new members about the ANMF. She has also stood by disability workers standing outside Federal Senator Richard Colbeck’s office in Devonport to highlight the vulnerability of people living with disabilities in the current COVID-19 climate. She will continue to letter box drop Aged Care campaign postcards in and around her local community and is also working on getting permission to visit the Waratah/Wynyard and Central Coast Councils to speak with community members there.
Updates correct as at 16 March 2022.
