Changes to the scheme

New changes to the Workforce Attraction Incentive Scheme have been announced, as it will no longer be offered from 1 February 2025 under Health Employment Directive 06/24.

I'm currently in a recruitment process

Health professionals who receive:

  • a letter of offer; or
  • confirmation in writing that they have been selected as suitable for an eligible role

dated before 1 February 2025 may be eligible for the incentives.

Applicants who have not received an offer letter or confirmation in writing dated prior to 1 February 2025 will not be eligible to claim for scheme payments.

I started between 1 November 2023 and 31 January 2025

Health professionals who commenced in a role with Queensland Health between 1 November 2023 and 31 January 2025 may be eligible for the incentives under Health Employment Directive 06/23.

I started between 1 July and 31 October 2023

For those who commenced in a role between 1 July and 31 October, you may be eligible for incentives under Health Employment Directive 02/23.

Scope of the scheme

Until 31 January 2025, health workers who may be eligible for the incentive scheme will be identified through the recruitment and selection process by the employing area.

From 1 February 2025, the scheme will no longer be offered.

The incentive scheme doesn’t impact other attraction and retention allowances health workers may be eligible for.
