To receive an email from Dementia Australia at 5pm on a Thursday night, July 30, asking staff to email back with their preferred minimum and maximum number of working days/hours by 9am the following Monday is simply ludicrous, so we've just written to state manager David Rose on members' behalf reminding him that we're still in the consultation stage of this workplace change proposal.

Members need more time to consider all their options for the future, and need to be able to get advice from us.

We don’t have much information yet and aren’t in a position to properly advise you until we do so for our definitive advice is DO NOTHING.
