Ward 5A (LGH) - United, committed and 100% ANMF strong!
A huge congratulations to the incredible team on Ward 5A at the Launceston General Hospital - every nurse on the ward is an ANMF member!
As a well-earned acknowledgment of their solidarity, ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary Emily Shepherd delivered a brand-new coffee machine to the ward earlier this week.
Their commitment to standing together means they have a stronger voice, better support, and the collective power to create change. When nurses and midwives unite, we can fight for safer
working conditions, fairer pay, and better patient care - and that benefits everyone.
