Covid-19 Moving to level 3
23 April 2020
While our subscribers who were classified as essential services during Level 4 will have developed processes to deliver their services under the Covid 19 restrictions, moving to level 3 takes the focus off essential and moves to ‘safe’.
What safe looks like for you will be determined by the services you provide, and your professional bodies will be providing clinical guidance to help you.
WorkSafe NZ has generic guidelines which will help you with the non-clinical aspects of the requirements. https://worksafe.govt.nz/managing-health-and-safety/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/transitioning-from-alert-level-4/
Practices will be required to develop a safety plan and WorkSafe has a template that you can download and complete to fulfil this requirement https://worksafe.govt.nz/managing-health-and-safety/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/your-covid-19-safety-plan/
We continue to work from home and can be contacted on 0800 800 627 or by email business@mas.co.nz
Keep safe and stay well,
Best wishes
Shaun, Chris and Fiona

Upcoming Changes
This newsletter we are highlighting upcoming changes – in the near future when you log onto HealthyPractice you will notice that the website has had a refresh and will be sporting the new MAS branding. On 1 April 2025 the adult minimum wage will increase from $23.15 to $23.50. The training wage also increases from $18.52 to $18.80. We are also highlighting some of the Coalition Government changes they are considering making to legislation in the employment space. These will probably be brought before the house in the second half of this year. The changes aim to boost productivity, simplify hiring and firing and reduce compliance costs.

Christmas Greetings
The years seem to be shorter and shorter and 2024 has passed in a flash. We hope that you are looking forward to some days off as much as we are. It has been another busy year and a very challenging one for many practices.

Resilience in challenging times
Working in a health practice is a challenging environment. It’s always busy and the people you are dealing with are often stressed and facing difficult situations. Workforce shortages are affecting all areas of health, which in turn leads to pressure on your practice staff as they need to work longer hours and deal with more complex patients, often doing more with less.
