Current Campaigns & Petitions
COUNT THE BABIES
In Tasmanian hospitals, babies aren’t counted in staffing ratios, leading to dangerous understaffing. This puts both mothers and newborns at risk. ANMF Tasmania seek parity with our Queensland colleagues who now have babies counted in staffing ratios. Tasmanian women deserve the same level or midwifery care!
SAFE HOSPITALS SAVE LIVES
ANMF members will proceed with industrial action in support of Tasmania’s dedicated healthcare workers who provide critical care across all regions of Tasmania. The current situation is unsustainable, leading to overworked and overwhelmed staff who are struggling to meet the demands of their patients.
TASIVF PAY PARITY DISPUTE
ANMF members deserve a competitive wage that reflects their crucial role and matches interstate counterparts. Rising costs mean they need proper remuneration and support.
Past Campaigns
PAYROLL VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE - PETITION
Sign our petition demanding prompt and accurate pay for Tasmanian Health Service staff. Errors and delays are unacceptable. ANMF urges THS to rectify issues within 48 hours, provide overtime pay for delays, conduct transparent investigations, and improve communication. Join us to demand change!
SAY NO TO UNSAFE TRANSFERS - PETITION
