Thanx for that, but I emailed the ANF & they replied they would not give
me that info unless I was a member. I then called the Industrial
Relations people, who were able to help me to a limited degree. I was
told that a Level 3 Nurse award wage in the 1st year of practice is
$44,645 per annum. By the 4th year it is $47,412. I then looked up the
actual document that covers this award to get a formula for hourly rate
- so $44,645 comes out to about $22.52 an hour - does that sound about
right? I actually have no idea what level nurse you are when working as
a midwife - anybody? As usual there is no mention anywhere that I can
find about working as a 'midwife', instead of a 'nurse-midwife' - I
guess it will take a while yet for the PTB's to catch up with the fact
that there is now a growing number of midwives in the workforce who are
not nurses. I suggested to the ANF that they think about changing their
name to ANMF - I mean, theres no provision on their website even for
joining up as a 'midwife' for gods sake! Whoever is in 'member
recruitment' there has some work to do :))

will try and get the Qld hyperlink addy for you

Subject: [ozmidwifery] rates of pay
I have a question about rates of pay for midwives working in
caseload-type models of care.
I understand that each state has a different award rate (which I cant
access as Im not a member of the ANF), but I also know that many
institutions that have set up caseload models have got their own salary
agreements, for midwives being on-call & for recognition of working in a
more 'autonomous' way....
so, for those working in these models, could you tell me what your
hourly rate is?
& for those working in private practice, how have you decided what your
fees for homebirths are?
feel free to email me off-list...
thanx in anticipation
Jennifairy
