Dear Member,

Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) has advised the HSU of a proposed change to the rosters for the Security Department at Blacktown Hospital, effective 21 October 2024.

The District advises that the following changes are proposed:

1. Alignment of the roster to have all security officers (excluding Seniors) into the same roster pattern.
2. Security officers will rotate throughout their shifts through all facilities in Blacktown Hospital. This includes all Hospital Blocks (A, B, C), Emergency Department, and all other areas within the campus.
3. The introduction of a rotating duties pattern across Blacktown Hospital will result in each officer undertaking a minimum of 3 hours per shift in the Emergency Department.
