Notes
- •Rates are ordinary hourly rates, effective from the first full pay period on or after each date.
- •The 1 October 2022 to 1 October 2024 columns are the Ramsay Health Care Queensland Nurses and Midwives Enterprise Agreement 2023–2025 ([2023] FWCA 2998, AE521531), which passed its nominal expiry on 30 June 2025 and operates until the 2025–2029 agreement replaces it on 7 October 2026.
- •The 1 October 2025 to 1 October 2028 columns are Schedule A of the replacement Ramsay Health Care Queensland Nurses and Midwives Enterprise Agreement 2025–2029 (AE534235), approved by the Fair Work Commission on 30 September 2026 ([2026] FWCA 2701). It operates from 7 October 2026 — seven days after approval (cl 1.2) — with a nominal expiry date of 30 September 2029. On approval the Commission corrected Schedule A so the Clinical Nurse Manager and After Hours Manager rates include the 1 October 2025 increase, which the lodged text had left out.
- •Increases under the 2025–2029 agreement: +3% from 1 October 2025, +2.5% from 1 October 2026, +2.5% from 1 October 2027, +3% from 1 April 2028 and +3% from 1 October 2028. Each step applies from the first pay period commencing on or after its date (cl 4.1). The 1 October 2025 and 1 October 2026 steps pre-date the agreement’s 7 October 2026 start, so those increases are paid as back pay.
- •The new agreement commences on 7 October 2026, seven days after Fair Work Commission approval. Everything the agreement changes “on commencement” — the casual loading rising from 23% to 25%, the weekly Uniform Allowance, the per-shift Lead Apron Allowance, the three new classifications (Enrolled Nurse — Advanced Practice, Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Manager) and the manager loading exclusions — starts on that day rather than on 1 October 2025, so none of it is back-dated.
- •Casual loading: 23% under the 2023–2025 agreement, 25% from the 2025–2029 agreement’s commencement. Penalties and the casual loading are each calculated on the base rate and added together — they do not compound.
- •Overtime steps at 3 hours, not 2: 150% for the first 3 hours then 200%, Monday to Saturday. Sunday overtime is 200%, and public holiday overtime 250%. Casual overtime rates are inclusive of the loading: 173% / 223% / 223% / 273% under the 2023–2025 agreement, becoming 175% / 225% / 225% / 275% from commencement.
- •Nurse Unit Managers, Level 4 Registered Nurses and Clinical Nurse Managers are excluded from the overtime and on-call provisions and from the meal-break double-time rule. From commencement, the 2025–2029 agreement also withholds shift and weekend loadings from these three roles (cl 5.3.2); public holiday pay is unchanged.
- •Shift and weekend loadings apply to ordinary hours only, and where more than one could apply only the highest is paid — afternoon and night penalties are not payable on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday where the weekend/holiday rate applies.
- •Standard full-time hours are 38 per week, with a maximum of 10 ordinary hours a day unless on a 12-hour shift roster.
- •Progression: part-time and casual increments require 1,800 worked hours and at least 12 months on the increment. Registered Nurse Level 1 is renumbered from 1 April 2028 (see the Level 1 table).
- •Annual leave is 5 weeks, or 6 weeks for shift workers regularly rostered across seven days (and for staff who rotate through the required minimum of day, afternoon and night shifts in a year). A further 38 hours accrues for 20+ call-ins or 75+ on-call periods in a year.
- •Greenslopes Private Hospital keeps its site rule of a 20% penalty on day-shift time worked before 6:00am; the 2023–2025 agreement’s $13.50 night shift special payment does not appear in the approved 2025–2029 agreement.
