Queensland Health will have unprecedented access to health workers’ bank accounts, with new laws rolled out to allow automatic recovery of overpaid wages.

Unions are mobilising against the controversial move, warning the Newman Government staff will not allow their industrial protections to be stripped away.

It comes amid discontent over end-of-financial-year payment summaries sent this week, with some health workers claiming the documents were again riddled with mistakes or missing key information.
