Health practitioners stream wage rates
About these wage rates
The wage rates below are taken from Schedule 1 of the Health Practitioners and Dental Officers (Queensland Health) Certified Agreement (No.4) 2022 (HPDO4), found on the Awards, agreements and orders page on the Queensland Health careers site.
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 that 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 2025 and 2026 State Wage Case from the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission increased the Health Practitioners and Dental Officers (Queensland Health) Award – State 2015 (HPDO Award) wage rates higher than the HPDO4 17 October 2024 Agreement rates, employees are now entitled to be paid as per the HPDO Award.
