Calvary’s largely female workforce in Tasmania has extra reasons to celebrate this International Women’s Day following approval of a new enterprise agreement awarding nurses and midwives pay increases and a range of enhanced conditions.

An innovative Calvary program is supporting aged care and other nurses making the switch to acute hospital care, helping them rapidly upskill and transition to their new roles.

For International Day of the Midwife, we’re taking the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the incredible work of our midwives, and how they are able to support parents before, during, and after the birth of their new babies.
