Pay · Oct 2026 agreements

Public hospital benefits

Why this matters. Leave, study time and long service sit beside the salary, and they differ by state. This page lists the published entitlement, not a local policy that is better than the agreement. A benefit is not the same thing as cash pay.

The award for the grade you pick, then the leave, sick leave, long service and study time that come with a public job in that state. Regional extras are on the card when the agreement states them.

Ordinary full-time base only. Award pay by state uses the same grade. Overtime, penalties and salary packaging are not on this page.

A line that says “not priced” or “see the agreement” means that clause was not typed here. It does not mean the entitlement is zero.
