What do nurses earn? ... Is a very difficult question to answer because the amount paid is highly variable depending on the specific level, division and grade of nurse as well as the location.

The table provided below is a guide to salaries for nurses across Australia and at various career levels. It is however impossible to provide a comprehensive table of this nature which covers every possible nurse role across the country. Therefore it is important to emphasise that this is only a guide and that any prospective nurse should check with their Human Resources countact or the relavent Australian Nursing Federation body for more specific information. This guide also does not take into consideration factors such as: working conditions,

nurse to patient ratios, over-time allowance, salary packaging provisions, agency rates, nor any other allowances.

We have endeavoured to provide the best possible 'apples for apples' comparison of the different wage rates across comparable roles at the entry and maximum levels.
