Aged Care Updates – Statewide

Southern Cross Care (SCCT)

The ANMF encourages members to feedback issues related to absence or instability of leadership in SCCT sites, especially in relation to Covid-19 management. Members are encouraged to look after themselves and their colleagues in these unreasonable situations. Use internal SCCT reporting systems, and escalate to next level management if you can, to highlight the impact on your workload and morale. Notify the ANMF if you are unable to get a response from your internal systems, and managers. Also, notify the ANMF if you are ordered to attend a one-to-one meeting so we can follow up and ensure procedural fairness and support.

Rosary Gardens

In the absence of a Facility Manager, the ANMF encourages members to action concerns as above.

The ANMF visited members at SCCT Guilford Young Grove with morning tea for members on Monday 12 September 2022. The ANMF enjoyed attending sites to discuss any industrial or professional issues.
