In Tasmania that sits alongside a Working with Vulnerable People Registration from the Department of Justice Tasmania (paid $137.20, valid 3 years) when your role involves children.

Postcode 7250 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.

Pharmacist vaccination and prescribing scope is set under Tasmania Drugs and Poisons regulation and changes frequently as state pilots expand.
