RE: [ozmidwifery] caseload midwifery
Hi Barb, Thank you for your support. I work at Bendigo Hospital in Victoria. We are about to start weekly meetings to work out how to run caseload in our setting. We have DHS funding and approval from our hospital executive. We now need to come up with a proposal, which will then be put to a secret ballot. If 50% of the ward staff (whether they wish to work in the program or not) agree to the model going ahead, we will be able to get underway. Once we start meeting I will have plenty of questions. The website sounds like a great idea. I will be in touch shortly. Warm regards,Nicole Carver. attachment: winmail.dat

Hello Nicole, Our team at Belmont Birthing Service has an annualised salary. It was negotiated with the NSWNA and the health service. The midwives are happy with the arrangement. If you want further details, please email me at work on [EMAIL PROTECTED] warmly, Carolyn - Original Message - From: Nicole Carver To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 9:12 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] caseload midwifery Hi all, I am looking for some information from people working in caseload models. We are about to start work on a caseload model and need info about which method of payment is best. Some seem to think annualised salaries are best, but others think we might get short changed and arekeen to see us get paid for what we actually work, getting paid a base rate, with penalties paid in the following fortnight. What has been your experience? Warm regards, Nicole Carver.

I have found an annualized salary to be much the best way, you need to get the ANF to help you with this, in SA they were of great help and have even negotiated an increase for us based on their survey of the work we actually do.

Re: [ozmidwifery] caseload midwifery
Nicolecontact the ANF as they have three or was it four different ways you can choose to be paid which all ensure you get your payment and still remain within the award. They seem compilcated when you first read them but all ensure that over the year you get all your money but allow the flexibility to work different hours each fortnight. Most give you a base rate each fortnight or month and then pay the penalties for the last pay period after you have submitted them.AndreaOn 29/06/2006, at 9:12 AM, Nicole Carver wrote: Hi all,I am looking for some information from people working in caseload models.

Hi Nicole, It's great to hear your service is looking at developing continuity of care for women. Which service is it? The College is working on a project to bring this kind of information together in one place on our website - but won't be available on line till later in the year. In the meantime, if you'd like to give the College a call on our number below I'd be happy to talk about this with you and direct you to people from existing services who can help you. Kind regards, Barb.
