EA Updates
We are frequently updating information regarding enterprise agreements from private and aged care sites across Tasmania so our members can stay informed.
Anglicare
After members voted to endorse the ANMF bargaining claim, your ANMF bargaining team spoke briefly to each item at the first bargaining meeting with Anglicare last week. Other unions also put forward claims. One of our claims is for the agreement to set out more clearly the classification descriptions and pay points for nurse classifications, including adequate opportunities for advancement. We will be consulting members to develop proposals in this regard. Keep an eye out for future email updates and talk to your ANMF Workplace Representative for more information.

Medea Park
The first bargaining meeting occurred on Tuesday 20 August 2024. The ANMF presented your Log of Claims (LoC), and the reasons why these claims are important to members employed at Medea Park. Lead negotiators on behalf of your employer will take these claims to the Medea Park Board for discussion, the ANMF looks forward to hearing their response when we next meet on the Thursday 19 September 2024. If you are interested in attending these negotiation meetings, please send an email to ANMF Northern Organiser Nicki Hood at Nicki.Hood@anmftas.org.au so an invitation can be forwarded.
Calvary Home Care
The ANMF were very disappointed Calvary refused to discuss expected wages and allowances, essentially stalling negotiations as many decisions on new or revised clauses are weighted against any wage offer. Instead, Calvary has tabled a draft agreement without these wage offers. The ANMF has scheduled a member meeting hear your feedback on the offer to date. If you have any concerns you would like to raise and you are unable to attend the member meeting, please forward your concerns to ANMF Northern Organiser Nicki Hood via email at Nicki.Hood@anmftas.org.au.
Updates are correct as of 21 August 2024.
