ANMF (Vic Branch) operations and COVID-19 update

Nurses, midwives and personal care workers are on the pandemic frontline caring for the community. Supporting you, and your health and wellbeing, is critical for the ANMF.

As of Wednesday 13 July 2022, the majority of ANMF (Vic Branch) staff will be working from home in line with the state government’s recommendation and to ensure we can maintain a workforce to support our members.

Job Rep training and Education Centre classes will continue face-to-face, using COVIDsafe protocols. HSR training courses will be delivered via face-to-face and online and participants will be notified.

The ANMF Library will also remain open.

Upcoming events will also be delivered face-to-face and participants will be notified of any changes.

If you need to contact ANMF, the following is the best way to do so:

1. Inquiries relating to your work
   All inquiries relating to your work should be directed to our ANMF Member Assistance Team are via our online form.
   
   The Branch triages urgent inquiries such as terminations, APHRA notifications, violent or aggressive incidents, disciplinaries, meetings and bullying and usually respond within one business day.
   
   Non-urgent queries are responded to as soon as practicable, typically within three business days.
   
   The Branch has transitioned to a new case management system and the online form populates this, so we can ensure we respond to your query.
   
   If you have not received a response to your inquiry, ensure you check your junk mail – particularly if you have a Hotmail email address. You can check the status of your inquiry from the member portal once logged into the ANMF website. If it says your case is closed, it means we have replied to your inquiry.
