Port Stephen's Veterans and Citizens Aged Care have advised that management are reviewing rosters for staff working in the Care Team and on-call arrangements in the Maintenance Unit. The Care Team review involved looking in the current roster start and finish times as well as reviewing “workflow management”. Management have also outlined a possible change to include all maintenance staff in the on-call roster.
