Monash Health and LaTrobe Regional Health Service have been hit with a class action on behalf of junior doctors in Victoria who allege they were denied pay for overtime hours worked over the past six years, the second underpayments class action filed by junior doctors in the state.

NSW Health has hit back at a class action accusing it of failing to pay overtime hours to junior doctors, saying that because they did not submit an overtime claim they were taken to have worked the additional hours “of their own volition”.

Victorian public healthcare provider Peninsula Health has been hit with a class action brought by junior doctors who claim they were deliberately unpaid despite working a significant amount of overtime each week.
