On-call, recall and registrar allowances

TAS separates availability from the work done after recall, so these should not be modelled as one item.

On-call allowance is listed as 5% of base salary on a 1:5 roster or less frequent, 10% on a 1:3 or 1:4 roster, and 15% if permanently on call or 1:2.
Recall/call-back has a 1-hour minimum and uses different rates for weekdays, weekends and public holidays.
Meal allowance amounts are listed for eligible overtime or travel meal claims.
Medical practitioners in training have a listed roster cap of 70 hours in one week and 136 hours in one fortnight unless agreed otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Does this TAS registrar page include senior registrars?

Yes. Senior registrar rows are included where they appear in the Tasmanian pay table.

What changes TAS registrar take-home pay most?

Registrar take-home changes with year level, weekday after-hours work, weekends, public holidays, on-call, recall, HECS/HELP withholding, salary packaging and eligible allowances.

Where should I check the full TAS pay guide?

Use the main Tasmania overview page for the full pay table, state-specific award summary, and all-level comparison.

How should I think about TAS on-call versus recall?

On-call pays for being available. Recall or call-back is the work event after being called back and has its own minimum payment rule, so it should be checked separately when modelling a roster.
