Unhappy Annual leave for Nurses Australia

We have passed our police checks & medicals and are waiting for 'that' e-mail with bated breath. We are going on my skills as a Registered Nurse. I am fully expecting a wage cut for both myself & hubby but was shocked the other day to see that I'll only get 20 Annual Leaves each year. That means a drop of 13 A/L's although I might gain 1 or 2 public holidays. I know that we are well-off here for holidays in the NHS but this has really shocked me. I'll be relying on my A/L's to take time off with my 8 year old during holidays.
If I didn't have a child it wouldn't matter so much. Some jobs in the private sectore (ie care homes) seem to offer better holiday entitlement etc. Could anyone advise/ comment !!
