The ANMF Welcomes a New Organiser for Northside Clinic

The ANMF is excited to introduce our newest team member, Kristy Free. Kristy will be covering a new region called Central North. This area includes public mental health sites in the Launceston region encompassing the Northside Clinic and community mental health streams.

Shane Rickerby continues in his role as Organising Team Leader for the Northern region.

The ANMF now has an additional Organiser and an increase in FTE for our members in the North. With the right resources at the right time, the ANMF is committed to ensuring we are here to support you, our members, when you need it most.

Kristy is keen to hear from all Northside Clinic members about your current issues, concerns, and any industrial and professional matters you would like to discuss. This is your chance to tell us about the most suitable times for member meetings and any specific challenges you are facing.

We have created a short survey for you to share your feedback. Please take a moment to complete it by following the link below. Your input is crucial as we continue to strengthen support for Northside members.
