GENERIC LEVEL STATEMENTS. Generic Level Statements - Health Practitioners Within the HP classification structure, there are two streams; clinical and management. Roles may require employees to work across streams. Clinical Stream comprises a number of roles: to which are attached a mandatory, minimum tertiary degree or agreed equivalent qualification as determined by the employer or delegate; and the duties of which reflect a combination of discipline-specific practitioner responsibilities and/or an identifiable specialisation/management within a profession. Management stream comprises a number of roles to which are attached mandatory, minimum tertiary qualifications associated with a relevant health practitioner profession or discipline, as determined by the employer or delegate. Health Practitioner Three (HP 3) Clinical Roles at this level require employees to hold at least a relevant tertiary degree (or equivalent) qualification in an eligible Health Practitioner clinical profession. HP3 covers newly qualified professionals, developing clinicians, and proficient clinicians. Employees at this level utilise an acquired level of professional knowledge and skills to deliver professional clinical services in accordance with professional standards, guidelines and work unit procedures. Employees usually participate as a member of a professional or multi-disciplinary team. Roles have a clinical or education or research focus, or may involve elements of all three. Employees perform a range of duties, mostly of a routine nature. Duties are performed under regular supervision and/or guidance from more experienced practitioners, however with levels of clinical practice supervision decreasing, commensurate with experience in the role or similar roles. Employees may be expected to manage their own workloads, undertaking routine duties largely independently and by exercising sound levels of professional clinical judgement in decision-making. More complex clinical decision making is undertaken with support or guidance. Employees are required to participate in research, quality or service improvement activities, under the supervision of a more experienced practitioner. Employees may be required to provide direction and guidance or education to students, assistant and support staff, or to less experienced HP3 level practitioners, also under the supervision of more senior staff.

GENERIC LEVEL STATEMENTS. Registered Nurses For the use in conjunction with PART 5 of the Agreement. These generic level statements are intended as broad descriptions of the role at each level of the career structure and should be applicable in all acute health facilities where nurses practise. Specific job descriptions will, however, need to be developed for the specific positions at each of the career structure levels, e.g Clinical nurse Consultant Accident and Emergency. Pursuant to PART 5 in the Agreement a Registered Nurse at Level 3 and Level 4 of the structure may be allocated responsibilities for a stream or a combination of streams of nursing practice as identified in this Schedule. Compliance with A.N.R.A.C Competencies is required at each Level These Generic Level Statements were prepared using the competencies developed by the Australian Nursing Registering Authorities Conference (A.N.R.A.C.).

GENERIC LEVEL STATEMENTS. Generic Level Statements for levels are prescribed in clause 8.2. These statements reflect the degree of complexity and responsibility of duties, skills and knowledge proceeding from the lowest to the highest Classification Levels. Their purpose is to determine the Classification Level appropriate to any packaging of duties.
GENERIC LEVEL STATEMENTS. 8.2.1 Generic Level Statements are guidelines to determine the appropriate Classification Level under this Agreement and consist of characteristics and typical duties/skills. The characteristics are the principle or primary guide to classification as they are designed to indicate the level of basic knowledge, level of responsibility/accountability and the level of initiative and degree of consultative/advice required of the position. The totality of the characteristics must be read as a whole to obtain a clear understanding of the essential features of any particular level and the competency required. The typical duties/skills are a non-exhaustive list of duties/skills that may be comprehended with the particular level. They are an indicative guide only and at any particular level employees may be expected to undertake duties of any level lower than their own. Employees at any particular level may perform/utilise one such duty/skill, or many of them, depending of the particular work allocated. The key issue to be looked at in properly classifying an employee is the level of initiative, responsibility, competency and skill that the employee is required to exercise in the work they perform within the parameters of the characteristics and not the duties the employee performs per se.
GENERIC LEVEL STATEMENTS. This is Appendix 9 in the current agreement.
