In late 2014, the Latrobe Regional Hospital announced that it would be contracting out the CRCU. At this time, HACSU sought and received that a Labor Government would put a stop to the contracting out of our mental health services.
Despite the policy position of the new Labor Government, the Latrobe Regional Hospital (LRH) have pursued the contracting out process of the Latrobe CRCU.
Late last week HACSU state secretary, Lloyd Williams, assistant state sec, Paul Healey and Senior Industrial officer, Kate Marshall, visited members at Latrobe CRCU to discuss issues surrounding the potential contracting out of the service.
