Public Sector Updates – Statewide

Transfer of Care Offload Time Dispute Update
The ANMF (Tasmanian Branch) has made an emergency application to the Tasmanian Industrial Commission to seek a status quo direction with respect to the Transfer of Care Protocol, which is due to head to arbitration in March 2026. Read full update.
Public Sector Other Unions Industrial Action
The ANMF has been made aware that some nurses and midwives are being approached — or in some cases directed — to undertake duties normally performed by other Public Sector workers who are currently taking protected industrial action.
These tasks include cleaning shifts and other non-nursing duties that have not formed part of nursing custom and practice for many years and do not fall within the professional scope or contemporary expectations of nursing work. View the latest update.
Updates are correct as of 25 February 2026.
