Potential Amalgamation

The Union has recently become aware of a proposal to amalgamate Peninsula Health and Peninsula Community Health Services.  We understand that a report has been prepared by DHS and can be viewed here:  http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/rrhacs/phb_peninsula.htm.

On the basis of this report the government will make a decision about amalgamation.  As the actual process for amalgamation will be a complex task we would not expect a sudden change but will work through amalgamation issues if that decision is made. The union will insist that our members are properly consulted about changes to their working arrangements.
