Nurses Salaries
The ACMHN advocates nurses who take up the new positions are to be paid at a rate no less than a clinical nurse specialist (NSW) or state equivalent. Specific arrangements will need to be made with the service that engages or retains the nurse.

The following links are information on some public sector salaries. Not all states and territories have the same classifications and some may have more than one agreement for different sectors.
