Your latest Allied Health Professionals Agreement contains an entitlement to a professional development fund so that you can continue to train up on the job.
Conditions like these are hard-fought for by union members like yourself and it is important to know exactly what your rights are. Here’s what you need to know:
- AHPs are entitled to $1000 per annum for PD
- You can accumulate unspent annual PD entitlements for a maximum of 5 years
- When approved, costs associated with PD will be paid by the employer: including reasonable travel, accommodation and meals
- Your attendance at approved professional development is counted as being on the job
If you have any questions about accessing PD, you can get in touch with us via HACSUassist.
