Guide for use:
Total hours worked are for both employed and self-employed health professionals.
Total hours worked in public sector:
- includes travel to home visits or calls out;
- excludes other time travelling between work locations; and
- excludes unpaid professional and/or voluntary activities.
Registered health professionals on leave at the time of registration are asked to report their usual hours worked.
Public sector employment is employment with an establishment run by the government sector. A public sector establishment:
- operates from the public accounts of a Commonwealth, state or territory government or is part of the executive, judicial or legislative arms of government,
- is part of the general government sector or is controlled by some part of the general government sector,
- provides government services free of charge or at nominal prices, and
