The ANMF would be interested in hearing from members regarding the situation in ED since the closure of the Department at the weekends. If members would like to inform us of the current situation, or have any issues, please contact Member Support via membersupport@anmftas.org.au

Lenah Valley Maternity Ward

The ANMF has been informed of the excessive workloads on the Maternity ward and has sent a workload survey to members to gain an insight into the workloads members face every day. The survey will be open until 09.00 Thursday 28 April 2022. Please fill in the survey to have your say, so that the ANMF can gauge the extent of the workload issues on Maternity.

Lenah Valley and St John’s

Members have notified the ANMF that the RATs that were promised by Public Health to every nurse and midwife have not been received. The ANMF questioned Calvary management regarding the lack of RATs and were assured that they have been distributed to Nurse Unit Managers (NUMs) in each department. Members are encouraged to contact their NUM in the first instance if they have not received them. If they have any problem with obtaining them, members should contact Leah Magliano to have them provided.

Calvary Northern Hospitals

The ANMF represented Calvary at the recent Workload Consultative Committee meeting. As there were some delays relaying updates on workloads for members at Calvary St Vincent’s, the ANMF has written to Calvary formally with a number of recommendations. The ANMF will continue to update members on workloads.

Healthscope Hobart Private and St Helen’s Hospitals

The ANMF has been informed by Healthscope that the first Workload Consultative Committee meeting will be held on Wednesday 20 April 2022 from 1100 –1230hrs in Room 327 or via Zoom. Members are encouraged to attend this meeting with the ANMF to be involved in the discussion around workload issues.

Please contact our Southern Organiser Jane Pond via email at jane.pond@anmftas.org.au if you would like to attend either in person or via zoom.

The ANMF has received a response from the recent letter sent to Healthscope management and is pleased to inform members that Healthscope has confirmed “employees will be paid on their usual date and there will be no temporary change to their pay date.” However, if members do have any issues with their pay over the Easter period, please contact our Member Support Team via email at membersupport@anmftas.org.au

North West Private Hospital (NWPH)

Operating Theatre

The ANMF, on behalf of members from the Operating Theatre at North West Private Hospital (NWPH) has formally raised a number of workloads concerns with NWPH management. Members will be notified once a response is received to seek direction and discuss next steps.
