The South Australian government has made a significant move by publishing a detailed salary structure for health professionals, outlining base annual pay across various roles. The figures, denominated in Australian dollars, cover base pay only, excluding overtime, shift penalties, professional development allowances, and other role-specific entitlements.
Salary Structure for Health Professionals Revealed
The salary structure, which is now available online, covers base salaries for health professionals ranging from entry-level allied health positions to the most senior medical consultants. Allied Health Professionals, classified from AHP1 to AHP6, have base salaries spanning AUD71,217 to AUD159,050. Medical Scientists under the MeS1 to MeS6B classification earn between AUD78,008 and AUD185,222. Registered Nurses and Midwives command one of the wider pay ranges on the schedule, with base salaries running from AUD74,831 to AUD211,200.
Junior and Senior Medical Staff Salaries Revealed
Junior Medical Officers, classified under MDP1 to MDP2, earn between AUD81,814 and AUD144,291. Senior Medical Officers at the MDP3 to MDP4 level receive base salaries of AUD167,916 to AUD248,077. Senior Consultants occupy the highest tier of the published structure, with base salaries under the MD2 classification ranging from AUD227,591 to AUD299,884.
Total Remuneration Packages for Senior Consultants Revealed
When applicable allowances, superannuation contributions, private practice arrangements, and professional development entitlements are factored in, total remuneration packages for Senior Consultants can rise significantly. According to the government, total remuneration packages for Senior Consultants can reach between AUD492,119 and AUD641,452.
The government noted that published figures reflect base pay only, and an individual employee's actual total package will vary according to their specific role, qualifications, experience, and the nature of the work they perform.
