Update: Psychologists’ reclassification process
25 May 2022
A number of members have contacted the 色狼社区regarding the recent reclassification process. The 色狼社区understands that members who were unsuccessful in their application were advised on 23 May 2022 by Human Resources.
The 色狼社区has met with Human Resources about the reclassification process and issues in interpreting the Award. A review of the caselaw around the Award negotiations back in 2006 has suggested that applications under the 鈥渄eemed equivalency provisions鈥 would be considered but restricted to existing employees at the time. The 色狼社区is currently seeking legal advice to determine this.
While there may be roadblocks in the current Award to deemed equivalency provisions, the Department acknowledged the inequity of long-standing employees being unable to progress their careers, and committed to consulting with the 色狼社区on a way to recognise equivalent experience going forward.
