Wage rates - Nursing Stream

*Please note: The wage rates prescribed below are contained in the Wage rates and allowances within the relevant Queensland Health Enterprise Bargaining Agreements.

Wage rates may differ if the corresponding Queensland Health Award wage rates are more favourable than the Agreement rates. This occurs due to the clause within the Agreements which prescribes: It is a term of this Agreement that no person covered by this Agreement will receive a rate of pay which is less than the corresponding rate of pay in the relevant parent award. Employees are paid the higher of the Award rates or the Agreement rates.
