Postcode 4350 has dominant MMM 2023 category 2. Ask for the base rate, rostered hours, on-call expectations, travel and accommodation terms in writing. A postcode category alone does not establish program eligibility. Rural health workforce programs refer to the Modified Monash Model but each sets its own categories, MMM edition and conditions. Check the program page before relying on a classification. Sessional records your agreed shift rate and the workplace postcode estimate when available.

Sessional applies the Nurses Award 2020 penalty structure (weekend, night, public holiday, overtime) to every shift from the start and end times you enter, with QLD public holidays pre-loaded. When an agency statement lands it reconciles the expected penalty-loaded amount against what was actually paid and flags any under-payment within 48 hours of the shift date.
