Average nursing wage in Oz?

Question

Can anybody tell me an average monthly wage for a mental health nurse in New South Wales in Australia? 12 months experience.

Thanks in advance xx

Answer 1

I know the yearly average now is about $40,000+ per year. But its probably best to check out NSW Health website, as wages do vary based on exeperience. They also vary upon the type of work you do as well as your employment (full time, part time, casual etc).

Answer 2

The best source of information on nursing wages in NSW is the following site

http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/nursing/sal...

It is the official NSW Government Health Department Nursing and Midwifery Office site and also gives details of penalty rates and other conditions.
