01

Multiple pay shapes reconciled

Most paramedics work across two or three pools: state EBA casual, event casual, mine-site FIFO package, aeromedical retrieval. Sessional logs hourly, packaged roster, and per-event rates side by side so your tax reserve and super contributions reflect the full income.

02

ICP, CCP, and MICA portability explicit

Intensive Care Paramedic, Critical Care Paramedic, and MICA endorsements are granted by state ambulance services, not AHPRA, and do not always port between states. Sessional stores the service-granted scope separately from AHPRA registration so a QLD ICP role does not accidentally assume NSW authority.

03

NSW 1 Jul 2025 pay rise applied

NSW Ambulance EBA lifted 4.5% from 1 July 2025. Sessional applies the updated base rate across your NSW Ambulance casual pool and leaves other state EBAs untouched.

04

FIFO travel, accom, and R&R logged

Mine-site and aeromedical packages sit on 2:1 or 2:2 rosters with travel and accommodation bundled. Sessional separates the package base, travel allowance, and R&R so you can see what your effective hourly realisation looks like during the worked block.

05

State S8 authority tracked

S8 authority for community and extended-scope paramedics varies by state. Sessional records your current state scope and warns you before cross-border event work exposes you to a scope gap.

State credentials, kept beside the work.

ICP, CCP, and MICA are service-granted, not AHPRA-granted, and portability between states is inconsistent. NSW Ambulance lifted 4.5% from 1 Jul 2025. State ambulance EBAs (NSW, AV, QAS, SAAS, SJWA, TasAmbulance) differ on night and weekend penalty loadings. S8 authority for extended-scope paramedics is state-regulated. Sessional stores your current state, your service-granted scope, and the EBA base against that state so the pay you expect is the pay you get.

Frequently asked questions.

How much does Sessional Australia cost for locum paramedics?

Sessional Australia offers three tiers (AUD). Free ($0) covers shift tracking, a public profile, and basic invoicing. Plus early access is $19.99/month until 1 January 2027, then $29.99/month for new subscriptions. Continuously subscribed early-access members keep their rate.

What does Sessional Australia track for paramedics?

Every shift with date, rate type (hourly, daily, per-shift, or percentage of billings), and workplace. Invoices, expenses with ATO cents-per-km, professional documents including your AHPRA registration, and tax planning for sole trader, Pty Ltd, or Trust structures. All income streams (agency, direct, public, NDIS) in one place.

Is Sessional Australia a locum marketplace?

No. Sessional Australia is the admin, compliance, and earnings platform. We do not compete as a marketplace and we do not take a commission on your work. Keep using Wavelength, Medrecruit, Ochre, HealthCare Australia, direct clinic relationships, and any other source that works for you. Sessional unifies the admin side across all of them.

Does Sessional Australia work with AHPRA registration?

Yes. Sessional Australia understands AHPRA registration and your AHPRA number. It appears on every invoice you generate and on your public profile, so workplaces can verify your AHPRA, Paramedicine Board of Australia registration at a glance.

Does Sessional Australia handle percentage-of-billings arrangements?

Yes. Each shift is logged with a rate type: hourly, daily, per-shift, or percentage of billings. Percentage-of-billings shifts skip the invoice step because the workplace bills Medicare or the patient and pays you a net share. Sessional handles the split automatically on the earnings dashboard and tax planner.
