Dear Sally, I was in the caseload model at the Angliss in Victoria until it's demise. I have dug out an old pay slip, after about a year of recording all our hours the 5 of us were very similar on the number of weekends nights etc, we negotiated an annualised salary of 54,178 we got paid Grade 3B Assoc charge and our caseload was 6 women per month, we also had 8 weeks annual leave,( 2 weeks of that were unofficial), we were on call unless we chose to have time off for a special occasion or time out in which case one of the others would take our calls. We carried phones and pagers which we paid for but they did give us a few cents per km for petrol when we were doing home visits, I hope this helps, let me know, I have just left the Angliss ( actually yesterday) to take up a role as ANUM at the new Casey hospital and am hoping to set up caseload or team there.
