Salaried Doctors
Doctors Employed in the Public Sector
AMA Tasmania provides services and works closely with two registered unions. The Tasmanian Salaried Medical Practitioners Society (TSMPS) is our state registered union for doctors who are employees. AMA Tasmania is also associated with the Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation (ASMOF) which is the peak union representing employed doctors across Australia.
Full time & Part time Specialists and non-specialists conditions of employment in the public sector
Conditions of employment are detailed in two documents. One is an ‘Agreement’ and the other is an ‘Award’.
For interpretation, the Agreement overrides the Award conditions to the extent of any inconsistency.
The Agreement and award are:
- Salaried Medical Practitioners (Tasmanian State Service) Agreement 2017
- Medical Practitioners (Tasmanian State Service) Award
For registrars rotating into Tasmania, accommodation is to be provided according to accreditation standards - refer attached letter.
Officers in the public sector
Medical Specialists and non-specialists who are appointed as ‘Officers” in the public sector are appointed by the Premier with conditions determined in the letter of Appointment.
