ANMF members at the LGH ED have achieved a significant win as a part of their ongoing Code Yellow action. Members have successfully secured the 2021 additional 21.3 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions on top of the 2024 benchmarked hours.

JLG is set to see an increase of 1.41 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE), while Ward 3R will gain either 1.45 FTE Clinical Nurse Consultant (CNC) direct or 2.68 FTE CNC indirect.

Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) North

The ANMF will be meeting with MGP North members on Monday 7 October 2024, at 1100hrs to discuss the draft Log of Claims (LoCs) for endorsement. This is an important step as we work to recommence negotiations for a new MGP Agreement. All members are encouraged to attend to provide input and feedback.

District Hospitals North

The ANMF has sought an update from the Tasmanian Health Service (THS) regarding the recruitment of Associate Nurse Unit Managers (ANUMs) to District Hospitals in the North. Once received, we will provide further updates to members.
