Locum payrates....

Hi

I have been looking at the recommended Australian Podiatry Payrates from the APODA for an outline of locum payrates. However I cannot locate recommendations for locum rates...? Do they exist or is it an agreement between the two parties...?

Cheers

 

There are minimum award rates for podiatrists which vary from state to state and between the public and private sector, but they generally add a 25% loading to the hourly rate for locum staff.

These are the minimum that can be legally paid, and start as low as $20 per hour, (Victorian Private Sector award) so you would be better off negatiating an individual agreement that was paid at a more appropriate rate. The public sector rates are less negotiable and vary between $27 and $50 per hour (in Victoria) depending on job requirements and experience

 

Thanks for the advice and quick response , hope I have better negotiation skills than the Australian Wheat Board....

 

I am interested in migration from N. Ireland to Victoria and at present run a busy private practice. Where can I get info as to prices charged to patients so that I can compare.....I would ideally like to set up my own practioe.....help!

 

Hi plod

to my knowlege there is no set charge schedule.

Hi bromiddosis

here in qld we have put together a DRAFT pay scale and DRAFT contract for podiatrists and potential employers to use in the negotiation. If you contact the office on - Ivonne Kuypers [infoqld@findapodiatrist.org] to request a copy sent out to you.
