According to QH`s HR I2 policy, VMOs are currently paid for work related to public patients, but have limited coverage compared to private patients. We understand that the policy will be changed so that when HHS asks MMOs to treat private patients through a private practice agreement, compensation agreements will apply. VMO can be used after consultation (but not by agreement) (clause 5) at other locations within the HHS (clause 5). We understand that work done outside of base hours at other locations is done by appointment. The annual salary increase will be determined in advance for the duration of the 2011 LMO Agreement and will be set out in the Annexes to the 2011 LMO Agreement [www.health.qld.gov.au/vmo/docs/vmo_agreement.pdf]. LDAs currently receive a base hourly rate in accordance with Annex 1 of the 2011 VMO Agreement [www.health.qld.gov.au/vmo/docs/vmo_agreement.pdf].

The notice period may be shortened by written agreement (§ 23 para. 4). The base hours of a VMO can be increased if the VMO regularly works more than its normal base hours. This can be done after consultation with HHS.

The basic hourly rate paid depends on the classification of the VVO (visiting specialist, visiting senior specialist or visiting general practitioner) and the years of eligibility of the LMO as a paid specialist when the LMO has been recalled to work (clause 3.9.1). In some cases, a lawsuit for unfair dismissal could be filed against the QRC The 2011 VMO agreement was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013, but its duration was extended to July 6, 2014. After July 6, 2014, the terms and conditions of employment of the 2011 VMO Agreement will no longer apply to VMO.
