If you work in the public health sector, don’t forget to check your next pay slip to make sure you have received your latest pay rise.
Under the current Public Health Sector Enterprise Agreement (EA) you should get $17.50 per week or 1.25%, whichever is the greater, effective from the first full* pay period on or after 1 April 2014.
After the October 1 pay-rise, the final increase under your current EA is now only 1 year away on April 1 2015. While this might seem a long way away, it’s time to start thinking about what kind of improvements you’d like to see in the upcoming EA and the kind of strength and commitment required to win a fair EA for Health Professionals in the public health sector.
“There’s a lot of work to be done to ensure Health Professionals in the Public Sector have the Agreement they deserve and it’s going to take all Health Professionals to achieved it” said Craig McGregor, VHPA Secretary.
