Re: [ozmidwifery] Brisbane hospitals & alleged discriminatory employment

[Mrs Joanne M Fisher]

I think this decision is a relatively new one by this particular hospital and is yet to be tested by any new Australian DEM's.  The Rego Board (called the QNC here) probably isn't even aware of it.  Another interesting point, the QNC also has to change one of it's by-laws 1st before QLD starts training their own DEM's as one of their by-laws still state that a midwife must 1st be a nurse!  They may have already reviewed this by-law, but I have not heard about it yet, it's the only thing holding up starting DEM"s here. Your email is the only ozmid mail that comes with an attachment to me, but as you said, probably just part of your email.   Cheers, Joanne.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Sally-Anne Brown To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 9:26 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Brisbane hospitals & alleged discriminatory employment Thanks for the update Joanne and the reminder re my anti virus update.  Had been away for a few days and was updated yesterday around the same time I was on line. Apologies I did not realise it wasn't finnished when I sent the email through.   Nearly all my ozmid mail appears to have an 'attachment' when it comes in but actually doesn't.  It is the email itself that is the 'attachment' if you know what I mean. So the answer to your query is no I did not send an attachment .... my guess is it was the email itself.   All the best for the campaign to have all midwives employed who wish to work at the Brisbane hosi's you mentioned will not employ DEM's.  I think they would need to be very careful they are not setting themselves up for a discrimination claim/s as it is the registration board that determines whether the training requirements of all midwives (here and o/s) have been met to register as a midwife, and not the area health services.  What does the QLD rego board think about the hospitals taking the Rego board's laws into their own hands ?   One would think they might view this as the hospitals stepping over the line, as one would imagine......!!     Kind Regards   Sally-Anne   ----- Original Message ----- From: Mrs Joanne M Fisher To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 7:18 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Re: testing my email again as I am receiving but unable to send - sorry for the humbug Not sure why, but an attachment came with your email, did you send one?  Also, note at the bottom of this email the out-of-date internal virus datatbase.   Cheers, Joanne. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sally-Anne Brown To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Re: testing my email again as I am receiving but unable to send - sorry for the humbug Helen,  The same thing has happenned to me over the past 2-3 weeks.  I find the odd one gets through and others don't.   Kind Regards Sally-Anne ----- Original Message ----- From: Helen and Graham To: Ozmidwifery Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2005 5:13 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Re: testing my email again as I am receiving but unable to send - sorry for the humbug I seem to be able to receive from but not send to the list.  I have contacted the list administrator but haven't heard anything back yet....  Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
