Members who could attend meetings, held across the state on 21 March 2024, were provided a report back on progress of negotiations for the Nurses and Midwives (Victorian Public Sector) (Single Interest Employers) Enterprise Agreement 2024-2028, with the current Agreement expiring on 30 April 2024.
Members were not happy about the number of claims that have not been addressed, and similarly with the proposed wages offer.
Members unanimously rejected the offer given the total lack of progress in relation to their ‘cost’ claims.
Where to from here?
Members directed ANMF to:
- Hold further negotiations on the unresolved aspects of the claim, with a particular emphasis on wages and allowances.
- Make an application to the Fair Work Commission for a protected industrial action ballot order.
- Hold a further statewide meeting, at a single metropolitan venue, as soon as practicable following the declaration of the protected industrial action ballot (this is likely to be late April, early May).
Read the full campaign update, detailing the status of all claims.
