EA UPDATES
Latest news and updates from across the state
EA Updates
We are frequently updating information regarding enterprise agreements from private and aged care sites across Tasmania so our members can stay informed.
Family Planning Tasmania
Following the positive approval from employees, Family Planning Tasmania has moved to have the new agreement registered with the Fair Work Commission. Entitlements and the wage offer will become “live” seven (7) days after the registration is successful. Once this has occurred the ANMF will inform members by an Enterprise Agreement (EA) update, members can also peruse the new agreement (once registered) on the ANMF website.
