EA Updates
We are frequently updating information regarding enterprise agreements from private and aged care sites across Tasmania so our members can stay informed.

The next EA meeting is due to take place on Tuesday 23 May 2023. If you would like to attend the EA meeting to support the member Log of Claims (LoC) and discussions to date, please contact Southern Organiser, Jane Pond via email at Jane.Pond@anmftas.org.au.

Bolton Clarke
The ANMF has been made aware that Bolton Clarke has moved away from a proposed national agreement and have commenced negotiating with the Victorian ANMF.
