Nurses and doctors have their own scales: Queensland nurse pay and Queensland doctor pay. Department of Education and other agencies: Queensland public service pay.
How it works
- Rates for AO, OO, PO and TO come from the Queensland Public Health Sector Certified Agreement (No. 12) 2025 (EB12), including the 0.5% CPI uplift paid in mid-2026. Queensland Health says employees get the award rate where it's higher.
- Hospital and Health Service general employees work 76 hours a fortnight; public service officers 72.5 hours, so their hourly rates differ.
- Take-home pay is after income tax and the Medicare levy for a full year in 2026–27. Super is paid on top.
