Further to the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) decision to remove after-hours hospital aide and ward clerk positions, the ANMF has written to the Premier to seek an intervention and secure funding. Subsequent to this, the ANMF is also considering an application to the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) on the THS failure to consult. Further updates to follow.

The ANMF met with members at the LGH and King Meadows to discuss the proposed benchmarking completed on 29 April 2023. Members have provided feedback on the proposal which detailed an increase of staffing for the PM shift at the LGH and consideration for a nurse practitioner at Kings Meadows. The ANMF will now seek to reconvene a meeting with the THS to discuss these matters. Further updates to follow.

The ANMF will be meeting with members at the NESMH on Monday 22 May 2023 at 1400hrs to discuss ongoing workload matters and details on progress to move this forward. Further updates to follow.
