Penalty rates
Every shift is split at rate-change boundaries — 10pm, midnight, weekends, public holidays — so each hour is rated at exactly the right loading.

Common questions
AMA Victoria DIT Award pay questions, answered.
Things workers actually search for — with straight answers.
What penalty rates apply for night shifts under the AMA Victoria agreement?
Night shift loadings apply to hours within defined night-period boundaries (generally 10 pm–6 am or 11 pm–7 am depending on your health service) and are paid on top of the ordinary hourly rate.1 Shift It splits each shift at the rate-change boundary automatically.
How is overtime calculated for junior doctors in Victoria?
Overtime is calculated separately for pre-rostered extensions and post-rostered hours, each attracting its own penalty loading.1 Minimum rest requirements between shifts can also affect when overtime accrues.
Do weekend and public holiday penalty rates stack?
Yes. A shift on a Sunday that is also a public holiday attracts both penalties simultaneously at the combined rate specified in the agreement.1
