Technical stream wage rates

About these wage rates

The wage rates below are taken from schedule 1 of the Queensland Public Health Sector Certified Agreement (No. 12) 2025 (EB12) found on the Awards, agreements and orders page on the Queensland Health careers site.

EB12 incorporates wage rates for employees covered by:

  • Queensland Public Service Officers and Other Employees Award – State 2015
  • Hospital and Health Service General Employees (Queensland Health) Award – State 2015

Rates were updated in mid-2026 to include a Consumer Price Index Uplift Adjustment (CUA) which provided a 0.5% increase to wages, following the release of the Brisbane CPI data for the March 2026 quarter (Brisbane). (Please note that the published agreement has not been updated to reflect these rate changes.)

Under the agreement’s CUA clause, former employees may also be eligible for this entitlement. So that Queensland Health can assess your eligibility, please submit your request to employmentrelations@health.qld.gov.au with the following details:

  • full name (first, middle and last)
  • date of birth
  • employee or payroll number
  • the department/Health and Hospital Service for which you are seeking for an exception to be applied.

If it is determined that you are eligible to receive a CUA entitlement, Queensland Health may require you to provide additional information to facilitate any payment.

Wage rates may differ if the corresponding Queensland Health Award wage rates are more favourable than the Agreement rates. This occurs due to the clause within the Agreements which prescribes: It is a term of this Agreement that no person covered by this Agreement will receive a rate of pay which is less than the corresponding rate of pay in the relevant parent Award. Employees are paid the higher of the Award rates or the Agreement rates.

Please note that where the 2026 State Wage Case from the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission increased the relevant Award wage rates higher than the EB12 1 September 2026 Agreement rates, employees are entitled to be paid as per the Award.
