Current and former junior doctors in Victoria have reached a $175 million in-principle agreement with the State Government over unpaid overtime — four years after the first class action was launched.

Under the mediated agreement, which is yet to be approved by the Federal Court of Australia, doctors who worked for any of the 36 Victorian public services from early 2015 until January this year may be eligible for back pay.
