Following on from the Ward 5D member meeting held on Friday 26 August 2022, the ANMF has now written to THS management confirming members’ endorsement of the proposed new benchmark and nursing FTE profile. The ANMF has indicated that the Step 2 Grievance will be resolved once the proposed benchmarking FTE has been recruited against and filled, including the extra 1.81 FTE for the Oncology Haematology CNC indirect 7 days a week.

The ANMF is now in receipt of the THS North response to our letter dated Thursday 11 August 2022 raising workload concerns on behalf of Ward 5B members. A meeting with members will be scheduled shortly. For a full update please click here.

Emergency Department (ED)

Following on from the last ED ANMF member meeting held on Friday 12 August 2022, the ANMF has now corresponded with the THS regarding the ongoing concerns of workload, bed block, the finalisation of solutions coming out of the 2021/22 TIC process, and further detailed subsequent solutions provided by members to assist with workload and bed block. The ANMF expects a response to this correspondence by Tuesday 13 September 2022 and will consult with members further.

Child Health and Parenting Service (CHaPS)

The ANMF has been in discussion with CHaPS management around the process for resolving the Step 2 Grievance for Northern CHaPS. It has been agreed to convene a Statewide specialist panel meeting because of there being multiple grievances across the state with similar issue driving workload concerns. The Statewide meeting will occur in the week commencing on Monday 19 September 2022. It is hoped that this will expediate the resolution of the matter. The ANMF will ensure local nuances are not lost in this process by maintaining regional organisers and work representative as members of the Specialist panel. Further updates to follow.

Kings Meadows Renal

On Thursday 25 August 2022, the ANMF met with members at Kings Meadows Renal to discuss work, health and safety concerns to do with the existing building and workloads.
