IIRC I think I saw posts here where SA health offered a 3% pay increase and then there was the NSW one - all of which turned down.

I can think of two older colleagues who spent their entire working lives doing rehab and child developmental assessments without letters, I think they were paid as CMOs by SA Health all their working life.

Remuneration with SA health is infinitely better than the abysmal pay NSW health (this is a recurring theme in this subreddit) with a cushy PD allowance.
