Shift times - Aust?

[samcgill2001]

Hi guys,

Quick question - What are typical shift times for someone working in Brisbane or Melbourne Centre?

I mean start and end times, not hours.

thanks

So many options, it depends completely on where you work.

Most locations/groups have a forward rotating roster.

Example shifts are:
0500-1100
0530-1200
0600-1300
0630-1400
0630-1430
0700-1500
0800-1600
0900-1600
0900-1700
1100-1900
1200-2000
1300-2000
1300-2100
1400-2100
1400-2200
1500-2300
1600-0000
1700-0000
2100-0500
2200-0600
2300-0600
0000-0700

Then there are 7 hour rosters, 8 hour rosters, and anything up to 10 hours.

Minimum time off between shifts is 10 hours rostered; 8 hours if returning on an 'overtime' basis.

We are rostered for 72 hours a fortnight.

An Example pattern 1500-2300, 1300-2100, 0700-1500, 0600-1300, off(called for overtime but you refuse), off(overtime shift), 1400-2200, 1100-1900, 0500-1100, 2200-0600, off(called for overtime but you refuse) off (overtime shift). Then it repeats.

Many locations work a night shift at least once every 6 days, sometimes more.

Regional towers that close at night obviously don't work night shifts.

Thanks again.

It repeats after 12 days? Well it does where I work, some places have very different rosters, it totally depends on your role and the location even across a 'single centre' there are very different rosters.
