Health workers across south-east Queensland's Wide Bay Burnett will walk off the job today over the State Government's pay offer.

The Queensland Public Sector Union (QPSU) has rejected the State Government's offer of a 2.5 per cent pay increase over three years for health practitioners.

Queensland Health says the workers are some of the highest paid in Australia.

QPSU spokesman Bob Elphinstone says rallies will be held at the Bundaberg and Maryborough hospitals.

"They will be seeking to publicly rally to support their claim that not enough staff can be recruited at the current pay levels," he said.

"Quite clearly members in regions deserve the same level of care that our colleagues in Brisbane get.

"It's quite important that the Government recognises that regional areas are more difficult to recruit to and that we get the financial support that we need to support the Wide Bay community."

Queensland Health workers across the Sunshine and Cooloola coasts region are also planning strike action today.

Mr Elphinstone says stop-work action is planned at Sunshine Coast and Gympie hospitals today but more industrial action could follow.

He says the region already has problems with attracting and retaining health professionals and Queensland Health's proposal will not help.
