- Work/life balance included in rostering principals.
- Clarity around evidence requirements for sick, carers and compassionate leave.
- Leave loading included in the agreement for the first time.
- Inclusion of express “status quo” principal in the disputes settlement clause – means once we put something in dispute change is put on hold.
- Ability for Senior Officers to be paid single-rate overtime.
- Clarity around when the “afternoon penalty” will be paid and how much it is.
- Inclusion of a crib break clause.
