Rosebery Community Health Centre

The ANMF is celebrating the good news for members regarding Salary Maintenance at the Rosebery Community Health Centre. The ANMF successfully advocated for members working at Rosebery Community Health Centre between 12 December 2021 and 11 December 2022, who were financially disadvantaged due to not being rostered a mix of shifts, to receive a period of ‘salary maintenance’ while they adjust to a new level of pay.

We are pleased to report that the Deed of Release has been finalised and affected members can expect to start receiving their deeds indicating their back pay amount this week (once the signed Deed is returned). Please note it is important to sign and return your Deed ASAP as only then will payment be authorised.

The ANMF attended a series of meetings with members from Hellyer Community Nursing, Mersey Leven Community Nursing and ComRRs to discuss the Change Proposal. Primary Health Service management has been informed of members feedback with a response expected by Tuesday 25 July 2023. Members will be informed of progress via newsflash and follow up meetings.
