VMO Contracts Determination 2007

As of 9 October, 2007, months after signing off on VMO contracts with NSW Health, we have finally dragged the revised Determination through the Industrial Relations Commission.   


The new Determination will be issued to all VMOs and will, by circular, directly replace the existing Determination.  The Determination is one part of your service contract and as such, altering the Determination does not alter your existing contractual relationship with the hospital.

The Determination is one part of your service contract and as such, altering the Determination does not alter your existing contractual relationship with the hospital.


All VMOs should have been receiving the increased payments for some months (except for GWAHS where we recently discovered they could not get the computer program to work – this has caused us great anger as many of the incentives were to have direct bearing on regional VMOs). 
However, the following additional provisions will now apply:-


New disputes clause

  • Cancelled list provisions On call payment during call backs
  • Interest for non-payment
  • Annual Service Review
  • Superannuation

Please see your next issue of VMO News for further information on the new provisions that now apply. If you would like to receive VMO News, please email rachel@nswama.com.au .
