Salaries in Australia vary slightly from state to state but each states' Government fixes all doctors' salaries. After overtime and on-call work these salaries will be approximately 15-25% higher. Intern: $45,000 - $55,000 Resident/ SHO: $55,000 - $85,000 Registrar: $70,000 - $98,000 Consultant (Specialist): $115,000 - $240,000 These are all approximate figures and in actual fact, the more hours you choose to work, the more you will earn. Basic salary assumes a working week of 38 hours - anything after this will be paid at penalty rates (usually double-pay), so for those looking to increase their salary the option of working extra hours (which is commonly available at many hospitals) can substantially increase your income. Salary Packaging is a tax minimisation strategy available to all public hospital employees in Australia. It allows you to access up to 30% of your income as tax-free depending on the hospital you work in. This is a system used by almost all hospital employees to substantially increase their take home salary.

What should you do if you have an open infected wound?
The first thing you should do if you feel you have stitches that are infected, is to see your doctor. Your doctor can determine if the infection is internal or if it is an infection on the surface only. Your doctor may need to do a culture or a culture/sensitivity, to determine what bacteria is present, the quantity of bacteria and which antibiotics the bacteria is sensitive to.
If the infection is internal, it may need to be drained; if it isn't too deep, your doctor can probably do this in the office. A small drain can be inserted and left in place until your doctor feels the wound is sufficiently free of bacteria. The tube will then be removed, usually a pain free procedure and the wound can then begin healing
If the infection is only on top of your wound/stitches, warm moist compresses, using a clean cloth or gauze applied to the area several times a day will help clean out the wound and will help reduce the pain by allowing the wound to drain. If the wound is in an area that can be exposed to the air and sunlight, doing so for a short time each day will help the area to dry out and also promote healing.
If the wound starts to bleed hold gauze or Cotton over it. Apply gentle pressure for about 10 minute's if it continues, contact the doctors office. Wounds usually heal between 3 weeks to 3 months.
