As nurses and midwives, we are bound by a commitment to health, healing, and human rights. That commitment doesn’t stop at borders.
Now is the time to raise our collective voice – not just for peace, but for our colleagues dedicated to care under immense circumstances.
ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary Emily Shepherd attended the National Day of Action for Palestine to call for peace for all along with Nurses, Midwives and community members. Pictured here are Nurse Sattin and community member Andre.

ANMF and HACSU Tasmania members have called out the Government’s plan to cut cancer trial staffing in Tasmania.
“Now is not the time to be reducing clinical trials, now is the time to be investing in research to stem to tide of the tsunami of cancer diagnoses that will severely impact the Tasmanian population,” ANMF Tasmanian Branch Secretary Emily Shepherd said at yesterday’s action.
“Our members are determined to raise public awareness of the consequences for cancer patients, families, staff, and the Tasmanian health system."
ANMF members have resolved to escalate the matter to a Step Two Grievance, if not resolved via this process, the ANMF will consider lodging the matter with the Tasmanian Industrial Commission.
A 58% cut to staffing isn’t “budget repair” … it’s a cut to HOPE. Cancer patients will pay the price. Tasmanians are watching!
