Dear Member,

HealthShare NSW has advised the HSU of an amendment to their proposed altered shift pattern in the Emergency Paediatrics Department.

Members initially received a newsletter on 9 May communicating the proposed start and finish time of 8:30am to 4:30pm.

Since then, HealthShare NSW has amended its consultation letter and advises the proposed change is actually 8am to 4:30pm.

The proposal is for an initial three-month (trial) period effective from 27 May to 18 August 2024. HealthShare says that at the conclusion of the trial period a decision will be made regarding the change on a permanent basis.
