Newsflash Private Sector Members State-Wide: The ANMF asks employers to pay $2000 payment in line with Public Service

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Tasmanian Branch (ANMF) has sent formal correspondence to all private sector main hospitals, seeking a commitment to match the COVID-19 payment to members in the public sector of $2000. The ANMF acknowledge the impact that COVID-19 has had on all our members in the private sector who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic.

The request is for members working at Calvary hospitals state-wide, Healthscope and the North West Private hospital to be recognised for their loyalty and contribution during the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing commitment to their workplace. The ANMF believe that members should be renumerated appropriately for their consistent compassionate care throughout this unprecedented pandemic and that you should not be excluded from the bonuses extended to the public sector and aged care workers prior to now. Should this request for recognition be denied, the ANMF if able will progress these payments via alternative industrial avenues.
