Emergency Department (ED)

The ANMF met with members in the Emergency Department to review the response to the Step 1 workload grievance. Members directed the ANMF to escalate the grievance to a Step 2. Formal notification is in process, members will be kept informed via newsflashes and further member meetings.

Rosebery Community Health Centre

On Tuesday 21 June 2022, ANMF officials attended the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) on behalf of members working at the Rosebery Community Health Centre and their ongoing service delivery concerns.

Spencer Clinic

A staffing matrix has been agreed between the ANMF members and the Statewide Mental Health Services (SMHS). This has seen the Spencer Clinic reduce bed availability from 19 to 16 for a 3-month period after which time the situation will be reviewed on a weekly basis. Click here for further information.

A Note from Nicki Hood – Member Engagement Officer

The past fortnight Nicki has been working on North West Roadshow preparations, and meeting with members across the North West with site visits at Yaraandoo, Rubicon Grove, and Coroneagh Park. Nicki has also been assisting with Public Sector Campaign – keep an eye out for flyers in your ward to record overtime and double shifts.

Updates correct as at 21 June 2022.
