## Resource

Junior doctors in Canberra celebrate a landmark $31 million settlement for unpaid overtime — with one doctor receiving $165,000 — after a class action that exposed widespread exploitation in surgical and OB-GYN departments across Australia. Though not all claims are fully covered, the payout marks a major victory for medical professionals who long doubted they’d ever be compensated for hours worked beyond their roster. The settlement has sparked a cultural shift, with more doctors now logging overtime — pushing hospitals toward fairer pay and safer working conditions for both staff and patients.
