Salary at Services Australia

Bonuses are not appropriate for this organisation Never ask about pay - whatever people receive, its never enough.

No bonuses but will great if there is. Pay still need to be balanced with other APS.

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.

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.

I would make more money in the private sector. No bonuses.

Bonuses don't seem to be a thing.

It is completely unacceptable to be paid at a lower level than colleagues performing the same work.

Need to be increased

Decent but wold obviously like to be paid more, especially in legal where we could be making a lot more

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.

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.

Agency couldn't careless about their workers and would pay them less if they could.

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.

Should generally be higher but it is not poor.

I would like to be paid more. I will be next year by 25% which is something important to look forward to.

Pay rises are coming!!

Public services N/A on bonuses but the pay is fair.

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.

The pay is ok but it is definitely less than the private sector.

Think - appropriate government spending...... training, responsibility and opportunity are the perks here and the intrinsic reward of knowing you are being of service to the Australian public

Relocation fee was paid but there are no other perks.

Offers relocation assistance when commencing the grad program.

Superannuation is pretty good. Working from home flexibility is amazing, since I commute on the train and it takes over 2 hours each day. I can't think of any other examples currently, but I have not been with the company all that long to earn 'perks' so to speak.

Able to take annual leave at half pay.

We do get an above average amount of leave.

Flex hours of working

I have not been aware of any perks. Salary packaging options aren't even that good.

I am not aware of any of the above perks - we get flex time which is good, other than that there are not a lot.

Generous leave and flex time

There are no perks

No perks

The flex-time and leave policies are excellent.

No idea. I have not seen any perks.

I am unaware of any perks

I had a good amount of extra pay while on a 10-week work trip recently.

Leave policies Travel allowances Plenty of others

As a remote worker, isolated from the rest of my team who are located in Canberra, I recently enjoyed flying to Canberra for a Graduate event (accommodation, flights, taxis, meals, all paid for), and took advantage of the chance to meet them all in person.

The general public service attitude towards work which means when you're done at 5 you're done for the day.

The whole of my transfer from where I lived to where I now work was fully paid for including car transfer and removalists.
