Notes
- •All salary rates are per annum (weekly x 52) for full-time equivalent positions.
- •RN/RM Grade 2 received a structural pay adjustment on 1 July 2024 (beyond the headline 1.94% indexation), so the 1 Jul 2024 step is larger than other classifications.
- •Night Duty (Mon-Thu) and Night Duty (Fri-Sat) shared the same rate until May 2025, then diverge from the 12 May 2025 increase onward (Fri-Sat is the higher rate).
- •Qualification allowances receive an additional uplift effective 1 July 2027 (shown as the 2027-07-01 step), separate from the general allowance indexation schedule.
- •Morning (AM) shifts do not attract a shift allowance under this agreement ($0).
- •The 2027-11-29 increase includes a significant 9.43% adjustment.
