Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH)

Department of Critical Care Medicine

In our dispute regarding compensation for 12 and a half hour shifts in the Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM) the Department failed to respond by the deadline set by the Tasmanian Industrial Commission. The Commission accordingly set a timetable to arbitrate the dispute, and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation Tasmanian Branch (ANMF) has 6 weeks to prepare evidence.

We understand that in DCCM, nurses whose shift spans 12 and a half hours only record 12 hours worked on their timesheet, because of a 30-minute unpaid break. In contrast, nurses in the emergency department, where there are different arrangements for breaks, are paid for the full 12 and a half hours that they are required to attend for duty.

Statewide Mental Health Service Peacock House

The ANMF met with management on Tuesday 6 August 2024. This meeting was in relation to the Step 2 Workload Grievance raised by the ANMF on behalf of members. Read the latest update.

Hobart and Southern Districts CCT Industrial Action

The ANMF met with members on Friday 16 August 2024 to provide a further update on the Step One Grievance raised by the ANMF on behalf of members. Read the latest update.

Updates are correct as of 21 August 2024.
