Agencies are paid for the staff they supply via invoice and processed through the general ledger as 'goods and services'. The Agencies are the employers of the agency nurses and not the hospitals receiving the service and, as such, the agency would hold information relating to the individual classification of agency staff. Agency nursing staff for Public Hospitals are engaged by the Nurse Agency Panel Contract, which commenced in July 2004. The conditions of the contract includes the maximum price payable for agency nursing services and are based on the Registered Nurses (RN) and Enrolled Mental Health Nurses - Australian Nursing Federation - Department of Health certified Agreement 2005 for Level 1 RN, increment 1-8. A limited number of agency nurses are engaged at the RN Level 2 for specific roles such as community nurses. Other management strategies are used for the temporary relief of higher level nursing positions such as permanent nurses being paid higher duties for relief.
