The ANMF Tasmanian Branch has voiced concerns, from Tasmanian members, to the ANMF Federal Branch who is currently negotiating a new national Enterprise Agreement (EA). We understand that the proposal to remove clinical positions and replace these with non-clinical staff poses an enormous risk to everyone. The ANMF Organisers will be returning to the workplace in the coming weeks, seeking members directions on the negotiations.

A national ANMF member online meeting is scheduled for Sunday 10 September 2023 at 1000hrs. All members are encouraged to attend. The meeting is in regard to the current negotiations and members commitment to industrial action. Further details to follow. Please view the latest update.

Updates correct as at 6 September 2023.
