In any case, only join the healthcare industry if you have the passion. Pay wise, it is nothing fantastic, our annual package is only about 15 to 16 months for average performers (including AWS/PB etc). You will earn enough to get by, and it is a iron rice bowl. My only hope is that the government will give us due recognition (not the clapping kind please), appreciate the pay raise coming this year but it is way overdue. Also, the salary gap between non-medical and medical staff is too wide. The last time AHP (allied health professionals) had a pay revision was in 2016. I started off at $3750 (got below market rate though I have a Masters), and 5 years later, my pay has only gone up by a $1000, and that is after a pay revision in 2016, plus 2 years A performance. The pay increment is way too little, even the recent one announced is only 3% to 7%, our yearly increment is already at 3+% too. That being said, it doesn't mean that private sector is definitely better, perhaps better work-life balance? Though they may not get the pay increment revision that public healthcare sector receives. And don't get me started on why the turnover rate in public healthcare is so high.. - Crazy amount of workload, on top of your clinical work, seeing patient etc, you have to do admin stuff, quality improvement etc, no time to do during office hours cos you need to see patients, so the only time to do is after working hours, cannot bring work home to do cos you need to access the hospital systems. - Roster planning/shift work, hard to take long leave or ad hoc leave, need to plan leave one year in advance. If your department is facing shortage of staff, be prepared to work more days to cover the manpower shortage. - Have to deal with difficult patients. - Management, bosses etc. - Mistakes are not tolerable as any mistakes make could potentially be a life and death matter. Imagine the mental pressure HCW faces every day at work..:( |

The recent pay increment is a joke, imo, its just compensating for the inflation that's happening. |
Question on salary
Hi everyone,
I have slightly over a year of experience at working in the government. Moving on to the healthcare industry for several reasons and I left my position while still searching for another one (left on a good note). I didn’t push for a salary increment (I know, my mistake for not knowing my worth. Lesson learnt). Just wanted to check what’s the salary range for private healthcare for my background (executive position, 1.2 years of experience working in the gvt (not healthcare) and not related to my previous role (though there are soft skills that are relevant). I took the offer at around ~$3500. :’) I did my research previously but I’m not absolutely certain of it’s accuracy. Does anyone also know many years does it take to progress from designation to the next? My aim is to learn and pick up more skills during my next role, and I’m not upset about the exact salary. I just also want to learnt how to negotiate my worth and my pay again for future. Thank you! |

How do they decide the range for 3-7% increment?
I've heard most people are getting 5%, with 7% of high performers and 3% for poorer performers. Is that right? |
