Dear Member,

Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) has informed the HSU of a proposed restructure of its Allied Health Administration team at Wollongong Hospital.

The district proposes to:

• abolish an existing unfilled 0.11 FTE part-time Level 2 Administration Officer (AO) and combine it with the existing 1.0 FTE Level 3 Administration Officer to create an Administration Officer Level 5 (Supervisor) with increased responsibilities including: operational management and reporting, teaching & training, delegation & monitoring of work, independent problem solving and developing procedures and systems.
• create an operational professional reporting line within the Allied Health Administration team from the AO Level 5 (Supervisor) position to the AO Level 2 positions
• assign a permanent reporting line for the Allied Health Administration team

You can view the correspondence at the below links:

• Letter – Secretary Gerard Hayes – Allied Health Admin Team Wollongong

• TWH Allied Health Proposed AO5 Supervisor
