Queensland Secures Public Sector Pay Deals
- The Crisafulli Government secures in-principle enterprise agreements with key Government services that deliver for Queenslanders.
- Agreements struck with Queensland Health doctors, registrars and specialists, Queensland Police Service’s Protective Services officers and staff from the newly formed Department of Customer Services, Open Data and Small and Family Business.
- The Crisafulli Government remains at the table and ready to negotiate with other key public workforces.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering for frontline workers by securing in-principle enterprise agreements with key workforces to ensure employees are paid fairly and key community services continue to be delivered.
The Crisafulli Government has reached in-principle agreements with several of the State’s valued public sector employees, including:
- Queensland Health’s Medical Officer workforce, including junior and senior doctors, registrars and specialists who work across emergency departments, surgical and specialist wards, and other Queensland Health and Queensland Ambulance Service facilities.
- Staff of the newly formed department of Customer Services, Open Data and Small and Family Business (CDSB) who provide great customer service support to Queensland.
- Queensland Police Service’s Protective Services who play a key role in enhancing security at key Government sites, including state government buildings, courthouses, schools, and public transport infrastructure while working closely alongside Queensland Police Service officers.
The reaching of in-principle agreements – which are in line with the Government’s central wages policy and includes CPI-linked increases if inflation exceeds guaranteed rates – provides certainty for workers and ensures staff receive backpay from 1 July 2025.
These agreements follow the finalisation of an enterprise agreement with the Queensland Police Service – which included a $8,000 retention incentive that will be paid in two installments over two years – and reflects the Government’s commitment to ensuring workers are well paid.
Deputy Premier, Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning and Minister for Industrial Relations, Jarrod Bleijie, said the Government would continue negotiating in good faith and that agreements are reached on fair and reasonable terms with the unions involved.
“Travelling around Queensland I’ve seen first-hand public sector employees demonstrating their dedication to deliver services to the Queensland community,” Deputy Premier Bleijie said.
