Date Issued: 7 May 2007
Distribution: Chief Executive Officers; Directors of Nursing; Chief Finance Officers; Human Resources Directors
Subject: 2007 Public Health Sector Nurses EBA – ANF Claims
Purpose: To seek health services’ assistance in preparations for enterprise bargaining negotiations with public health sector nurses.
As you would be aware, the Australian Nursing Federation Victorian Branch (ANF) has served enterprise bargaining claims on Victorian public health services with regard to general nurses.
The Department has also received the ANF’s claim and is undertaking an analysis and preliminary costing of the items claimed. Whilst a number of claimed items can be costed based on existing available data, specific additional (and local) data is required to arrive at a valid costing of the broad suite of claims. Therefore, the Department is seeking your cooperation and assistance in completing the attached data survey.
It is absolutely critical that each health service subject to the ANF’s claims completes this survey as fully and accurately as possible and return it to the Department, in the format as presented.

I would ask that the completed surveys be returned to the Department by email by no later than Friday 18 May 2007 to Mr Simon Chant of the Department’s Industrial Relations Branch (simon.chant@dhs.vic.gov.au).
If you require any further information regarding this request, please contact Mr Chant on telephone 9096 2583 or by email.
(Please note that this survey is similar to one completed by many health services in response to Hospital Circular 27/2003. Health services may wish to review their previous responses to assist the completion of this new survey. Copies of previous responses may be requested from Mr Chant.)
