Dear member,
The transition of waste, cleaning, stores and linen services from NNSWLHD to HealthShare NSW will occur for Tranche 1 (Lismore Base Hospital and Tweed Valley Hospital) on Monday 25 May 2026.
Delegates from each site have advocated fiercely to obtain answers and resolutions to issues identified throughout the preparation phase of this transition.
Teething issues are expected as the transition commences and members are encouraged to raise issues locally through the appropriate escalation pathways.
Members who are on light duties with active workers compensation claims, if you have any questions about how your claim will be managed post-transition, please reach out to Member Services on 1300 478 679 for industrial advice specific to your circumstances.
HSU members are wished the best of luck for Monday. There will be ongoing meetings with both the District and HSNSW post-transition to resolve any issues that arise, which cannot be first resolved with local site management.
HSNSW escalation pathways effective from Monday 25 May for the Tranche 1 sites are linked below:
- Lismore Base Hospital
- Tweed Valley Hospital
Do you know someone who isn’t an HSU member? Encourage them to join our Union today and have a say at work. We are always stronger when we stand together.
