Private Sector Updates – Statewide

Statewide

Partnered Health Medical Centres

Since our last update, your union has been fighting for your interests at Partnered Health. Through further negotiation and advocacy, your employer has accepted an increase to 12 days of personal/carer’s leave. While this is not the 15 days we initially asked for, we are excited to deliver this for members as it sets a new standard for nurses across the primary health space that we can further improve on in the future.

The District Nurses

At last week’s Enterprise Agreement (EA) bargaining meeting District Nurses management put forward some condition changes, but management is still yet to provide a wage offer. Management has put forward a number of largely technical condition changes which we are considering carefully. We seek your feedback on the items set out below. It is disappointing that we are yet to see progress significant unresolved items, such as the wage increase and adequate recognition of team leaders (clinical care coordinators).

Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre

The ANMF have written to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to highlight service governance and management systems shortfalls. Also, unmanageable workloads and staffing issues. Look out for a meeting soon once feedback period finishes.

Healthscope Hobart Private Hospital

The Healthscope Tasmania Nurses Enterprise Agreement 2025 was approved by a majority of the employees who voted in the ballot. Healthscope management has informed the ANMF of the following results:

345 ballot papers were circulated of which 211 were returned and counted. This is a 61.16% return rate.

Of the 211 returned, 0 were invalid. Of the valid votes, 93.84% approved the agreement.

Healthscope Tasmania will now lodge the agreement with the Fair Work Commission.
