​
Nurses are more likely to be properly classified at RN3 if they prepare chronic disease care plans (diabetes education, asthma education, coronary care) or provide women’s health advice (sometimes including Pap smear provision, depending on the level of advice provided) or external immunisation clinics.
​
Enterprise greements provide higher rates of pay when compared to the Award. For example, the Fullerton agreement will provide rates from mid-2022 as follows:
-
Enrolled nurses: approximately $26.37–$30.38 per hour
-
Registered practice nurse (Level 1): approximately $35–$40 per hour
-
Clinical nurse specialist (Level 2): approximately $44–$48 per hour
-
Nurse practitioner: $60 per hour.

​
​This will now assist in exposing underpayment of wages and discrimination by pay for employees
(click to view on Fair Work Ombudsman Website).
​
Disclosing pay and workplace conditions Under the Fair Work Act, employees have workplace rights to share or not share information about:
their pay their employment terms and conditions that would be needed to work out their pay, such as their hours of work.
They also have the right to ask other employees (with the same or a different employer) about:
their pay their employment terms and conditions that would be needed to work out their pay, such as their hours of work.
Employees can’t be forced to give this information to another employee if they don’t want to.
Employers can’t take adverse action against an existing or future employee either:
because of these rights or to prevent an existing or future employee from exercising these rights.
For more information about these rights, including when these rights started applying and who they apply to, see Prohibiting pay secrecy.
