Hi

What is the pay rate for casual Div 2 Nurses starting out in Melbourne - fulltime and hourly rate (day/night/weekends) and also permanent rate. Does rate increase after 1st year out of training and is rate better in hospital or nursing home and lastly is it a better rate if your medically endorsed....

Yeah it does, unfortunately the governement undervalues aged care workers and I think you'll find it pays less than hospital work - I don't think it's covered under the same award. Sorry unsure of the actual rates, I just know my agency pays a bit less for aged care facilities - unless you're endorsed then they pay more.
