Notes
- •Rates are weekly full-time salaries. The hourly rate used for part-time, casual and penalty purposes is 1/38th of the weekly salary.
- •Five increases, each from the first full pay period on or after its date: 1 July 2025 (at least 4.25%), 1 January 2026 (2.25%), 1 July 2026 (at least 4.25%), 1 January 2027 (1%) and 1 July 2027 (at least 4.25%). The 1 January 2027 and 1 July 2027 columns are future rates.
- •Some classifications also get a market adjustment on top of the 1 July 2025, 2026 and 2027 increases: Registered Nurse Grade 1 +3.25% each time, Grade 2 Year 1 +2.25%, Grade 2 Year 2 +1.75%, Grade 2 Year 3 +1%, Grade 2 Year 4 and Grade 3A +0.5%, and Enrolled Nurse Levels 2.1–3.3 and Psychiatric Enrolled Nurse Levels 1.7–3.4 +0.5%. The rates shown are the agreement’s printed figures, which already include them.
- •The agreement began operating on 7 April 2026, so the 1 July 2025 and 1 January 2026 rates are dated before it started. Three changes start only from 7 April 2026: the casual weekend rate of 187.5%, the Sunday night shift allowance and the weekend / public holiday on-call rate.
- •Schedule B’s weekly table heads its fourth column “1.1.2026”. The matching hourly heading and the 1% rise show it is the 1 January 2027 column, so it is shown as January 2027 here.
- •Unlike most nursing agreements, weekday shift penalties in Victoria are flat dollar allowances per shift rather than percentage loadings. See the Allowances table.
- •Saturday and Sunday both pay 150%. From 7 April 2026 casuals receive 187.5% on weekends, which includes the 25% casual loading; before then the loading was added to the weekend rate, giving 175%.
- •Overtime: 150% for the first 2 hours then 200% on a weekday; 200% on a Saturday or Sunday; 200% on a weekday public holiday and 250% on a weekend public holiday. Casual overtime is 175% / 225% / 225% / 225% / 275%, including the loading. Each day or shift stands alone.
- •On call is paid per 12-hour period or part of one. From 7 April 2026 a higher rate applies when the majority of the on-call period falls on a weekend or public holiday; before then the same rate applied every day. Recall is paid at overtime rates for at least 3 hours, and work by phone or computer for at least 1 hour.
- •Weekend and shift penalties do not apply to a Director of Nursing or Deputy Director of Nursing. The Assistant Director of Nursing (Grade 5) is not excluded. Overtime is not paid to a Director of Nursing at a site that also employs a Deputy Director of Nursing.
- •Standard full-time hours are 38 per week, with ordinary shifts of up to 7.6 hours (10 in theatre, 9 to 10 on nights, 12 under a 12-hour shift agreement). The minimum engagement is 4 hours for full-time, part-time and casual employees.
- •Annual leave is 190 hours (5 weeks). Employees who work ordinary hours on weekdays and on 10 weekends in the year get 5 extra working days, or half a day for each month they worked that way; from 1 July 2026 weekends on call count towards this. Leave loading is 17.5% on up to 152 hours, or the projected shift and weekend premiums if higher.
- •Registered Undergraduate Students of Nursing or Midwifery (RUSON / RUSOM) are a new classification. They are paid a percentage of Registered Nurse Grade 2, Year 1 and otherwise have the terms of a Registered Nurse or Midwife.
- •The 2025 agreement no longer lists rates for Enrolled Nurse Level 1.1–1.6, Psychiatric Enrolled Nurse Level 1.1–1.6, Trainee Enrolled Nurse or a Deputy Director of Nursing in a hospital of under 700 beds, so they are not shown.
- •It replaces the Healthscope Victoria Nurses' and Midwives' Agreement 2021–2025 (AE516396), whose rates are not shown here.
- •Source: Healthscope – Victoria – Nurses' and Midwives' Agreement 2025 (AE532367, [2026] FWCA 713), approved 31 March 2026, operative 7 April 2026, nominal expiry 31 March 2028. Read the full agreement at the Fair Work Commission: fwc.gov.au
