Salary and benefits
We offer competitive salaries and a range of other benefits, including:
- generous superannuation
- additional salary allowances
- flexible working options
- flexible leave options
- salary packaging.
Your salary will depend on the type of role you do, your level of experience and where you work. Find the salary rate for your role on the Queensland Health Careers website.
You may also be eligible for additional allowances. These could be given for working certain shift patterns, or for completing higher education qualifications.
Superannuation
We contribute up to 12.75% of your salary into superannuation.
The superannuation fund used by Queensland Government departments is QSuper but you can use a different one.
If you don’t choose another fund, we'll pay your superannuation contributions to QSuper as the Queensland Government’s default fund for our employees.
Salary packaging
Salary packaging or sacrificing is a way of paying for things from your salary before you're taxed. This reduces how much income tax you pay.
You can salary sacrifice things like:
- rent or mortgage repayments
- insurances
- car expenses
- travel expenses.
Read more about salary packaging on the Queensland Health Careers website.

- extra annual leave for working public holidays
