The ANMF, having conducted extensive consultation with affected members, has submitted feedback to the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) regarding the change proposal for relocation of outpatient clinic services from the Wellington Centre to Liverpool Clinics. A response has been requested by no later than COB Friday 5 May 2023. The ANMF understand that all staff have been provided with additional information regarding the change including an updated Code Red (fire emergency) plan and associated training. Members are encouraged to raise any additional concerns on this specific aspect of the change with their direct managers.

The ANMF, having undertaken consultation with members, has written to the THS informing that no feedback had been received regarding the proposal for conversion of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) on Ward 6A Trauma and Acute Surgical Unit (TASU). It is expected the change will progress as outlined in the change proposal document.
