Hospital Consultative Committee. The parties are committed to a consultative process involving Administrative staff and nominated employee representatives. A regular consultative forum comprising of employer representatives and Administration staff and the nominated employee representative will be established in each facility to discuss proposals and issues that may affect Administration staff. The consultative forum will also: • Identify the training needs of Administration staff and develop a plan to be implemented in each facility • Identify workload issues raised by Administration staff and develop a process to address excessive workload issues • Develop and implement a transparent process for the reclassification of positions with each facility • Oversee the implementation of this Union Collective Agreement and address disputes arising from the implementation of this agreement • Discuss any other issue the parties believe are relevant to the workplace. The parties to the agreement recognise that circumstances differ between hospitals and that the purpose of the consultative forum is to develop processes that best suit both the needs of the hospital and of the Administrative staff employed at the hospital. The HCC will meet within one (1) month of the date of lodgement of this Union Collective Agreement.
