Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services Award
Covers Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) and the work of Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander Health Workers, Health Practitioners, Dental Assistants, Dental / Oral Health Therapists and ancillary employees. 4 sectors, 16 classifications across approximately 50 pay-point rate rows. Standard rate is Grade 3 Generalist Health Worker Level 1.
Fully built. Rates, allowances, penalties and any required apprentice / junior rates are all wired to the rate resolver and have been verified against the consolidated award text and the latest pay guide.
Official Fair Work rates. This award’s minimum pay rates are synced directly from the Fair Work Commission’s Modern Awards Pay Database and updated automatically when the Commission changes them - including the annual wage review - so payroll always uses the current legal minimums without a manual update.
