Filed in: News » 2008 » 03 » Victorias Junior Doctors Feeli »
Posted by Cosmin Florescu | 24.03.08

The state of Victoria has pay and award terms which are less favourable when compared to other states. Poor working conditions and lack of support for training as well as lack of training positions were of particular concern. Based on a yet to be released government report, it exposed the exploitation of junior doctors in Victoria's public health system.
