Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH)

Car Parking

On Tuesday 28 March 2023, the ANMF received numerous member contacts regarding the apparent unavailability of car parking at Market Place for the late shift. Subsequently, enquiries have been lodged with Sultan Group’s General Manager of parking who has pledged a full response by close of business Wednesday 5 April 2023. Members will be briefed regarding Sultan Group’s feedback as well as any recommendations/suggestions.

Aged Services Team

On Tuesday 28 March 2023, the ANMF attended a Step 1 Grievance meeting in the company of Tasmanian Health Service (THS) representatives to unpack elements of the Step 1 workload and staffing grievance for Aged Services Team (AST), as well as seeking a resolution on actions/outcomes. Although robust discussion was undertaken and some good ground made, the final aspect of agreed actions did not come to fruition owing to time constraints, for this reason a secondary meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday 19 April 2023. A full report will be presented to members following this discussion.

Emergency Department (ED)

A Benchmarking endorsement meeting occurred on Thursday 23 March 2023, in the RHH ED. A newsflash was sent to members in relation to the benchmarking figures and further newsflash was sent announcing that the benchmarking figures were endorsed at the member’s meeting (See below). The ANMF have returned the carriage of the benchmarking process to the Tasmanian Health Service to progress. View the latest update.

Statewide Mental Health Service Adult Community Mental Health Service

A member meeting took place on 29 March 2023, where the ANMF discussed with members the latest newsflash relevant to this matter. Members agreed that the best way of monitoring ongoing outstanding work would be to continue monthly meetings with group director and team leaders, and the ANMF representatives. To date information has not been distributed equally or at the same time to all three teams and it is hoped that with closer monitoring the consultative process moving forward will be more robust. View the latest update.

Statewide Mental Health Service Group Director Change Proposal

A newsflash was sent to all of Statewide Mental Health Services in relation to a change that has now been rolled out in Statewide Mental Health Services for group director level positions. The ANMF unfortunately did not receive sufficient feedback from members to constitute a ‘widely and deeply felt’ issue across the service. In terms of moving forward, the recruitment to the new Group Director positions will be closely monitored and the ANMF ask that members make contact in relation to any changes (or difficulties) that occur once the positions are filled, as these will also warrant their own consultative process. View the latest update.

Updates correct as at 5 April 2023.
