Kids Simulation (KSA) and Critical Care Simulation (CCS) Restructure at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN)

Kids Simulation (KSA) and Critical Care Simulation (CCS) Restructure at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN)

Thursday 2 April, 2026

Dear member,
 
A restructure within Kids Simulation and Critical Care Simulation is being proposed by SCHN. This is your opportunity to have a say on how this affects you.
  • The proposal would combine the two separate simulation services into a single Simulation service under the governance of the SCHN Education and Simulation Service.
  • As a result of this amalgamation, there would be a number of positions deleted, and despite a number of positions being created to offset those deleted positions, it looks like there would still be an overall FTE reduction.
  • Along with the deletion of positions, there would be a number of reporting line changes along with some other changes to specific roles.
For more information, see the below links:
 
It is important for union members to lead this discussion.
