Bonuses are not appropriate for this organisation
Never ask about pay - whatever people receive, its never enough.
Graduate, Melbourne - 09 Nov 2023
No bonuses but will great if there is. Pay still need to be balanced with other APS.
Graduate, Canberra - 07 Nov 2023
No bonuses are available. Pay is below several departments and agencies (approximately at the median) which makes it difficult to retain skilled staff. The Agency needs to be more competitive regarding pay if it wishes to retain staff.

It is adequate for a graduate salary.
Graduate, Canberra - 03 Nov 2023
From my current understanding the pay is quite good, but I've heard its better in other government sectors. - Frankly for a graduate fresh out of university, being presented with opportunities like I have been, the pay becomes less of a worry, because you are already building rapport with staff and loyalty to the company.
Graduate, Brisbane - 03 Nov 2023
I would make more money in the private sector.
No bonuses.
Graduate, Canberra - 02 Nov 2023
Bonuses don't seem to be a thing.
Graduate, Melbourne - 02 Nov 2023
It is completely unacceptable to be paid at a lower level than colleagues performing the same work.
Graduate, Other (Please specify) - Tweed Heads - 31 Oct 2023
Need to be increased
Graduate, Melbourne - 30 Oct 2023
Decent but wold obviously like to be paid more, especially in legal where we could be making a lot more
Graduate, Canberra - 30 Oct 2023
My current pay level covers my bills, but not much more. I have been fortunate that my current team has offered opportunities to work overtime and earn extra flex.
Graduate, Adelaide - 30 Oct 2023
It's okay for a graduate but rapidly becomes inadequate after graduation, and the current pay offer doesn't look like it even will keep up with inflation.
Graduate, Adelaide - 30 Oct 2023
Agency couldn't careless about their workers and would pay them less if they could.
Graduate, Brisbane - 30 Oct 2023
I think the SES and Chief Executive officer pay bands are a little ludicrous for public servants in general. I understand the need to pay competitive salaries but to think people who have direct lines of contact with customers are paid exponentially less than Cheif Executive Officers is similar to corporate practice. I believe the agency needs to work on making pay and working conditions better primarily for frontline and technical staff as they're the people who make everything work at the end of the day.
Graduate, Adelaide - 30 Oct 2023
Should generally be higher but it is not poor.
Graduate, Brisbane - 30 Oct 2023
I would like to be paid more. I will be next year by 25% which is something important to look forward to.
Graduate, Adelaide - 30 Oct 2023
Pay rises are coming!!
Graduate, Melbourne - 30 Oct 2023
Public services N/A on bonuses but the pay is fair.
Graduate, Canberra - 30 Oct 2023
I think I am fairly remunerated for the work that I do and I look forward to progressing at the end of the program. I hope the pay offer from the APSC increases but at the moment I am happy with what I am recieving.
Graduate, Brisbane - 30 Oct 2023
The pay is ok but it is definitely less than the private sector.
