Discussions are continuing with the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Victorian Hospitals Industrial Association (VHIA) over revised and updated classification structures for the following classifications:

  • Dietitian Grade 4B at Northern Health, Melbourne Health and St Vincent’s Health;
  • Audiologist Grade 4 and the classification definitions that pertain to Audiologists;
  • Quality Officer, IT Officer and Clinical Trial Coordinator positions at health services where they  are implemented;
  • The classification arrangements for Dietitian positions in health services/hospitals and Community Health Centres;
  • The classification arrangements for Medical Scientists including Principal Scientist and Laboratory Manager positions;
  • The classification arrangements for Pharmacist positions including Clinical Specialist, Director and Deputy Director positions;
  • The classification definitions pertaining to Psychologists, including possible insertion of a Grade 5 level;
  • The classification definitions that pertain to Perfusionists.

Members will recall that the updating of these classifications was agreed to as part of the final settlement of the public sector enterprise agreement in June 2008.

So far we have reached agreement on the inclusion of the Dietitian Grade 4 B position at Northern Health, St Vincent’s Health and Melbourne Health. We provided a draft classification structure for dietitians in early April and are still waiting for a response from the VHIA.

We have a draft structure for psychologists prepared, and have set up a Working Party of scientists to work on the scientists’ classification structure. The scientists’ Working Party has commenced to meet.

Calls for Expressions of Interest in the Pharmacists’ Working Party
We are about to set up the Pharmacists Working Party. Any pharmacist member interested in assisting with the work on the classification structure for pharmacists is invited to contact Rosemary Kelly at the office.

We will be sending draft revised structures to perfusionist and audiologist members shortly.

Work on the proposed psychologist structure has been completed.

Quality Officer, IT Officer and Clinical Trial Coordinator positions will be integrated into the scientist and pharmacist classification structures.
