If members are impacted, please contact ANMF Northern Organiser Nicki Hood via email: Nicki.Hood@anmftas.org.au who will be available to offer advice to members. Alternatively, you can contact our Member Support Team via email: Membersupport@anmftas.org.au.

St Luke’s Melwood Palliative Care Unit

The ANMF wrote to CHCT’s general manger on behalf of members about the proposed changes occurring in the Melwood Palliative Care Unit in August 2025. Our letter requested a meeting with CHCT executive team to enable us to understand the proposed changes and how these changes may impact on our members and their working environment.
