Medical Practitioners Award
Covers medical practitioners employed in public and private hospitals, hospices, day procedure centres, Aboriginal health services, community health centres, the Red Cross Blood Service and other specified institutions. 42 classifications across 13 streams - Doctors in Training (Intern through Senior Registrar), Career Medical Practitioners, Community Medical Practitioners, and Senior Doctors (Specialist through Director of Medical Services). Standard rate is Senior Specialist Pay Point 1.
Fully built. Rates, allowances, penalties and any required apprentice / junior rates are all wired to the rate resolver and have been verified against the consolidated award text and the latest pay guide.
What's built
- All 42 cl. 16.1 classifications across the four major streams.
- Casual loading 25% per cl. 11.1(a) with a 2-hour minimum engagement.
- Annual / weekly / hourly figures derived consistently from the published annual amounts at the July 2025 figures.
- Hours-of-work setup: 38 ordinary hours / week for FT, fewer than 38 by agreement for PT.
Known limitations
- Specific overtime, shift-loading, on-call and recall arrangements vary widely between public-hospital enterprise agreements and private practice - confirm your local arrangement matches the seeded configuration before relying on it for production payroll.
Setup & special instructions
- Senior Specialist PP1 is the standard rate - wage-related allowance percentages anchor here, not Level 1.
- The Doctor-in-Training, CMP, Community MP and Senior Doctor streams all have distinct progression rules - assign each practitioner to the right stream and pay point before pay run.
