Hi Annie, I've been told the award if you have at least cert iv is $23.50. Some facilities do pay the correct award and its worth working for those that do pay correctly. I have worked in a few facilities and each time I greatly miss my previous residents and grow to "love" my new ones. I wouldn't work for less than the award as we already work hard enough and put in so many more hours which we don't get paid for and its because we do love what we do = Commitment.
Thank you so much for this site I use this every month, I do a flyer of what's on each month for my facility and use all the wonderful ideas, quizzes, trivia and craft. It makes my job so much easier.
