Victoria Medical Officers Enterprise Agreement
In recent months, AMA Victoria has negotiated, on behalf of our members, VHIA and the government, how the reimbursement of salaries should be applied under the new enterprise agreements. Discussions included whether a physician is entitled to reimbursement if he or she left the public system between January 1 and August 7, 2018, when the agreement came into force. We are pleased to inform you that after these negotiations, physicians who have worked in a public health department are entitled to a total compensation of 9%. There have been problems with typos in the Specialists Agreement`s post penalty plans and the incorrect application of increases to post penalties in the physician training contract. These two parties will not have an impact on the implementation of the agreements. Does the agreement apply to medical staff at all public hospitals in Victoria? It is possible to negotiate payment terms or rates of pay, but if you rely on this negotiation before accepting an intergovernmental position, make sure the details have been provided in writing by your new employer. In the absence of a written agreement, the terms of award will probably be considered your right and nothing. The matter was discussed at the conference before a new Fair Labour Commissioner, Vice-President Young, on Thursday, February 6, where the parties will keep the Commissioner informed of the matter and the progress made on issues raised since the last conciliation hearing. The parties are likely to try to reach agreement on a conciliation timetable. Considerable progress has been made in the compendium dispute and agreement was reached on Clinical Support Time (CST) and training guides at two conciliation hearings with the Victoria Hospitals` Industrial Association (VHIA) in December.

A bonus/agreement is the basis of all wages and conditions for workers covered by the classifications it contains, i.e.
the premium or agreement sets the minimum payments that a doctor receives in training. No, a number of conditions for specialists (excluding salary increases) are not paid if the tradesman already receives an equal or greater condition. It is a recognition that we are integrating unregulated conditions into the technical agreement in order to create protected national conditions. Hospitals are required to pay as soon as the agreements have been approved by the Fair Work Commission. If the vote is concluded, the agreements will be tabled at the end of March. The reference value for fair work commission approval is 50% in 3 weeks, 100% within 12 weeks. AMA Victoria asked the department to approve the payment earlier to minimize administrative delays. Union: ASMOFQ and Together Queensland (formerly Queensland Public Sector Union) have coverage of medical officers in QLD. If you do not believe that these principles have been respected by your health department, discuss them with your human resources medical department.
