The Commission made the Public Health Service Employees Skilled Trades (State) Award 2024 by consent, rescinding the 2023 Award. The new award provides a 10% increase in salaries and salary-related allowances over three years (4%/3%/3%), modernised apprentice classifications with higher rates, time-based staff progression, and a new family and domestic violence leave clause. The award operates retrospectively from 1 July 2024, with the Commission satisfied that the statutory requirements under ss 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 146 of the IR Act were met, and that the no extra claims clause conformed with Principle 4 of the 2024-2025 Award Making Principles notwithstanding its somewhat confined drafting.
