Current Enterprise Agreement

The 2022-2026 Medical Specialist and Doctors in Training (DiT) Enterprise Agreements are now available. 

The Specialists' enterprise agreement came into effect on Thursday 3 November 2022.

The Doctors in Training enterprise agreement came into effect on Wednesday 9 November 2022.

AMA Victoria will be working on implementation guidance and sending out information about how to enforce some of the more significant changes.

We expect health services will be working with their payroll departments to process back payments as soon as practicable.
