Vic ambulance managers agree to pay deal

While the Victorian paramedics pay dispute is still running after two years, their managers have agreed to a new pay deal with the state government.

The proposed pay increase for Victorian ambulance managers, team leaders, professional and other senior staff is six per cent from October 1 and a further 1.5 per cent from March 1, 2016.

Health Minister David Davis said the pay deal was negotiated over five months and urged the state's paramedics to follow suit.

"I urge Victoria's paramedics to take a lead from the association which represents their managers, and to accept the Ambulance Victoria offer," he said on Monday.
