Cardiac Rehabilitation Services Restructure at Ballina and Casino Community Health and Lismore Hospital

Cardiac Rehabilitation Services Restructure at Ballina and Casino Community Health and Lismore Hospital

Thursday 4 December, 2025

Northern NSW LHD (NNSWLHD) is proposing a change to the staffing profile within Cardiac Rehabilitation Services. This is your opportunity to have a say on how this affects you.
  • Management claim that the long-term leave of a physiotherapist with specialist cardiac skills has made the current model unsustainable.
  • As there are vacancies across the 3 sites, there is an opportunity to amalgamate vacant hours to create a new full-time position that can further support the department.
  • The position would be a Level 3 Exercise Physiologist or Physiotherapist and be externally advertised.
For more information, see the below links:
It is important for union members to lead this discussion.
 
Please send your feedback to restructure@hsu.asn.au by COB Monday 15 December with subject line NNSWLHD Cardiac Rehabilitation Services Changes.
 
Everyone affected by these changes needs to be a union member. Members deserve to have control over their working lives. Tell your colleagues now is the time to join.
