In the meantime, Calvary has made an administration wage increase of 3.27%, to acknowledge that members would miss out on a wage increase otherwise. This wage increase will be back paid to 1 July 2026 and should be paid on Wednesday 28 October 2026. View the latest update

The ANMF has received a copy of the Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NERR) which is the first formal step in renegotiating your Enterprise Agreement (EA). The ANMF was well prepared and have issued your endorsed Log of Claims (LoC) to your employer already. The negotiation meetings are scheduled to occur fortnightly; the ANMF is ready to present your claim items for consideration with the next bargaining meeting to occur Tuesday 27 October 2026.  View the latest update 

Medea Park

During a recent bargaining meeting Medea Park has put a 3% wage increase on the table for members to consider. Now is the time to consider if this wage increase is acceptable, in line with what you believe is a fair and equable wage, and conditions of employment. Negotiations continue as we work through outstanding claim items.

Corumbene Care Workers

Feedback from members in our Snap Poll indicates that an increase in the night shift penalty rate to at least 20% is what is required for Corumbene’s bargaining offer to be acceptable to a majority of our care worker members. View the latest update
