Calvary Health Care Tasmania
The ANMF has made an application to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) for a Protected Action Ballot (PAB) order. Please ensure that your member details are up to date (email and mobile phone) including your workplace so that you will be able to vote in the Ballot. 50% of those on the list (employer/union) held by the Ballot Agency must vote and more than 50% of those voting must vote yes, for the Ballot to succeed.
The protected action ballot is open and will close on Wednesday 16 August 2023. The ANMF encourages all members to vote yes to all questions to support each other. Voting ‘yes’ does not mean the action has to be taken, it simply means that members can elect to take the action.

The ANMF has been onsite on Thursday 10 August 2023 (today) at St John’s and Lenah Valley to answer any questions, or alternatively contact Jane Pond via email at Jane.Pond@anmftas.org.au
