HSU Officials and Delegates met with the Southern NSW LHD Executive team on Monday 6 September to discuss members’ ongoing concerns regarding the district-wide restructure. Firm commitments were agreed upon between both parties, including:

• Regular communication and consultation between both parties around finalising outstanding positions to be filled within the restructure.
• Re-establishing Site Consultative and Joint Consultative Committee meetings ASAP.
• Addressing outstanding issues and concerns in a timely manner.
• Regular updates surrounding all COVID-related concerns.
• The HSU-initiated district-wide review of Laundry Allowance and Shoe Allowance for 5444 staff is close to finalised, with backpay for up to 6 years for members that meet the criteria in the coming weeks.

HSU members’ concerns are always foremost in our discussions with management, and we will continue to make sure your issues are addressed.
