Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH)
Ward 8A
The ANMF attended the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) on Wednesday 21 December 2022, to discuss the outstanding workload concerns of members working at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) Ward 8A. It had been agreed at the Step 2 Specialist Panel, following the ANMF raising a workload grievance on behalf of members, to implement a 1.0 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Clinical Nurse Consultant (CNC) position. The ANMF is now seeking the assistance of the independent umpire in resolving the workload concerns and is seeking that the CNC position is implemented as a matter of urgency, as previously agreed between the ANMF and Tasmanian Health Service (THS). The ANMF will circulate a newsflash communication to members at the conclusion of the conference on Wednesday 21 December 2022.
