The Palaszczuk government is currently negotiating with public sector unions a series of new collective agreements for the public public sector. Primary working and employment conditions for the majority of Queensland Health employees are imposed through bonuses and agreements. As in our first mandate, the government negotiates in good faith to reach agreements that provide fair and equitable wages and conditions. Find out about the status of negotiations on the State Government Entities Certified Agreement replacement agreement. The Labour Relations Office will now meet with the parties to the union negotiations to finalize the development of the proposed certified replacement agreement. From 9 March 2020, the proposed agreement and related explainable documents will be available under www.forgov.qld.gov.au/state-government-entities-certified-agreement-2019.

This means that it is no longer necessary to continue the hearing scheduled for February 2020, as an agreement can be reached. The following rewards and agreements apply to Queensland Health employees: it is important that the provision refers to the annual salary review to be set by the Fair Work Commission. This is the first step. The decision on the annual salary review has been postponed for two weeks due to the COVID-19 crisis. We anticipate that this decision will be made at some point in July. The regime of the agreement then provides that the necessary discussions with the Land government on the continuation of wages will begin thereafter. Further updates will be made available during the contracting process. At this stage, the dates of payments under the contract are not yet confirmed. However, the government is working to ensure that this happens quickly. In the meantime, see a copy of the concordance heads (PDF, 288KB).
On 17 January 2020, an agreement in principle was reached with all trade union parties. The nominal expiry date of the basic agreement was 31 August 2018. However, negotiations on the basic agreement between the parties are continuing in good faith. All representatives are actively participating in the negotiations with a view to reaching an agreement in principle by 30 September 2018. . . .
