Current Campaigns & Petitions

SAFETY, SECURITY AND BICYCLE PARKING FOR ROYAL HOBART HOSPITAL STAFF

RHH Staff Deserve Better!

We, the undersigned employees and supporters of the Royal Hobart Hospital, call on the Tasmanian Health Service and Department of Health to urgently improve the safety, security and accessibility of staff parking options, including staff bicycle parking facilities at the Royal Hobart Hospital.

DON'T SILENCE NURSES & MIDWIVES PETITION

Stop the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) changes that silence nurses and midwives!

We, the undersigned, call on the Tasmanian Government to immediately abandon proposed changes to the Tasmanian Industrial Commission (TIC) framework that would restrict workers’ voices, prolong industrial disputes, and weaken the rights of nurses and midwives to advocate for safe workplaces.

Nurses and midwives are not asking for special treatment; we are asking for fairness, transparency, and a system that allows us to resolve disputes efficiently and safely.

PUBLIC SECTOR EBA 26

ANMF Tasmania launched its Public Sector EBA 26 campaign, Staff Us. Value Us. Protect Us. on 2 March 2026, ahead of enterprise agreement negotiations. The campaign highlights the urgent need for safe staffing, better support to retain nurses and midwives, and recognition of the critical care delivered by public sector nurses, midwives, RUSONs, RUSOMs and Assistants in Nursing. The ANMF is committed to working in good faith with the Tasmanian Government to achieve meaningful outcomes for members and safer care for the Tasmanian community.

AGED CARE REFORMS SHOULDN'T TAKE A LIFETIME

ANMF Tasmania launched our Aged Care Reforms Shouldn’t Take a Lifetime campaign on Tuesday 11 August, 2026, calling for the delivery of the reforms older Tasmanians, aged care staff, and families have been promised.⁠
⁠
The ANMF is proud to stand alongside aged care workers, residents and the community to advocate for safe, high-quality care with enough skilled staff, greater accountability and meaningful action.⁠ Older Tasmanians deserve better.⁠ AGED CARE REFORMS SHOULDN’T TAKE A LIFETIME.⁠

BRING YOUR OWN BED 2.0

ANMF Tasmania has relaunched its Bring Your Own Bed 2.0 campaign, calling on the Tasmanian Government to urgently address the ongoing health system capacity crisis. The system remains under immense pressure, with patients waiting too long for care and nurses and midwives working in unsafe, under-resourced environments. The message is simple: care can’t flow when the system is blocked. The crisis that sparked the original campaign remains, it’s still not fixed in 2026!

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 of midwifery care!

NURSES & MIDWIVES FOR PEACE

The ANMF stands as a voice for global peace, calling to end the violence that threatens our shared humanity. As nurses and midwives, we are bound by a commitment to health, healing, and human rights. That commitment doesn’t stop at borders. Let’s stand together. For peace. For protection. For each other.

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.

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

The ANMF Tasmanian Branch opposes the mandated 60-minute ambulance offload procedure, lacking consultation and jeopardising patient care and staff safety. We call for increased staffing and adherence to safe staffing requirements. Sign to urge the government to prioritise patient safety and nursing workforce well-being.

CALVARY HEALTH CARE TASMANIA: NO CARE IS NOT FAIR!

ANMF members employed at Calvary Health Care hospitals across the state have embarked on a course of industrial action, seeking to secure a safe staffing workload model and a wage increase that would facilitate much-needed recruitment.

PUBLIC SECTOR CAMPAIGN: RETAIN. RECRUIT. RECOGNISE.

We are calling on the State Government to ensure that all Tasmanians have access to enough nurses, midwives, and assistants in nursing to provide safe and quality care while accessing the public health system.

SOUTHERN CROSS CARE: '#ProtectTassieENs'

In 2023, we called upon the Federal Government to intervene with Southern Cross Care’s attack on the aged care work force.

S.O.S: SAVE OUR (HEALTH) SERVICES

The ANMF continue to be in discussions with the State Government to ensure vital health services are available following the closure of St. Helen’s Private Hospital – because all Tasmanian’s deserve access to the treatment they need.
