Nursing - Wage Rates

The Nurses (Queensland Health) Certified Agreement (EB6) 2006 saw the introduction of a revised nursing salary spine. The new classification structure supports the agreed salary spine, recognising the expanded roles of nurses and midwives in Queensland Health and aims to improve cohesion of the nursing and midwifery workforce. The wage rates below lists the new classification structure against the old classification structure.
