New Norfolk District Hospital

During our ANMF member meeting on Friday 24 April 2026, you advised that the workload and skill-mix since the implementation of the District Hospitals in Tasmania Safe Staffing (DHiTSS) Model of Care (MoC) at New Norfolk District Hospital (NNDH) continues to impact safe and timely patient care. Your feedback was definitive: the status quo is unsafe and unsustainable. View the latest update.

Updates are correct as of 6 May 2026.
