EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

We lead with an update on yesterday's announcement of VHA's call centre consolidation in Tasmania.

It can now be revealed around 125 people in Brisbane face redundancy or relocation to Tassie - and another VHA department will move to Brisbane to fill their empty seats from June next year.
