Welcome to the Queensland Health Enterprise Bargaining Home Page
The primary terms and conditions of employment of the majority of Queensland Health employees are prescribed by awards and agreements. While the awards are made by the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission (QIRC), agreements are negotiated by Queensland Health and the unions representing Queensland Health's employees. Following ratification by the employees covered by the agreement (through a ballot process) the agreements are certified, also by the QIRC.
Employee Relations, located within System Support Services Division, is responsible for managing consultation, negotiation and communication throughout the enterprise bargaining process on behalf of Queensland Health.
The major agreements that currently apply to Queensland Health employees are:
- Queensland Public Health Sector Certified Agreement (No. 8) 2011 (EB8) covering administrative, dental, operational, professional and technical officers.
- Queensland Health Building, Engineering & Maintenance Services Certified Agreement (No. 5) 2011 (BEMS5) covering building, engineering and maintenance staff.
