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.
