Application of the Special Clinical Loading and Performance Payment

The special clinical loading will normally be paid to full time Clinical Academics. The loading and performance payment will not normally be paid to Clinical Academics who are employed on a part time basis by the University and who then engage in private practice or work on a sessional basis for hospitals.

The effect of this is that Clinical Academics employed in the following Departments of Medicine who engage in clinical work for a Teaching Hospital will receive the allowance.

• Medicine
• Microbiology
• Obstetrics and Gynaecology
• Paediatrics
• Pathology
• Pharmacology
• Psychiatry and Behavioural Science
• Surgery
• General Practice

The Teaching Hospitals will not be responsible for funding the special clinical loading for Clinical Academic positions which are funded by the following organisations :

• Cancer Foundation
• Ford Foundation
• Lions Eye Institute
• Muscular Dystrophy Research Foundation
• Master of Public Health Foundation
• National Heart Foundation
• National Health and Medical and Rheumatism Foundation
• Department of Veteran Affairs
• Hollywood Private Hospital
• Centre for Applied Cancer Studies
