Salary at Services Australia

Pay needs to be higher. Bonuses do not exist

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.

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

Pay for the graduate program as a social worker is not worth it if there is no specific educational aspect that is relevant to the social work stream and enhances our learning as social workers

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.

As a graduate my pay is at the lower scale, however I am satisfied knowing that it will increase multiple times over the next year or two. I don't think we receive bonuses, but the pay increases according to CPI.

Need to be increased

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

Pay is alright for now, more bonuses outside of increased super would be nice.

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.

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.

Pay is adequate, though not enough to sustain given the cost of living. Bargaining has been drawn out so long also, so any pay rises are TBA. There are no bonuses.

Should generally be higher but it is not poor.

Bonuses? hahah Union is fighting for a decent payrise. Albo is being a stinge.

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

Pay rises are coming!!

Decent salary at graduate level if you have done something higher than a Bachelor's degree

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

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

Services Australia pays less than the rest of the APS, that's why I gave them a 6 out of 10. As one of the largest agencies and the service delivery arm of the APS this should not be the case. I am happy with my grad pay though because it is double of what I was getting at my last job.

Superannuation, flexibility of working place

There are no perks

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.

moving expenses were good.

No idea. I have not seen any perks.

Flex time is certainly a perk but I believe it is incumbent upon all entry level staff to not abuse this privilege and understand that the people who have served the agency for a many number of years should get precedence in being able to take this leave. The ability to choose my own schedule is a big reason why I think I will continue to work here as the growing need to work multiple jobs to make ends meet is becoming the norm

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.

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

There is a government program with sony which offers discounts.

No perks

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

There are no fiscal perks really. The work-life balance is pretty good.

I am unaware of any perks

Public service: Absolutely no perks. Imagine what an outrage it would be if taxpayers were expected to fund tea and coffee in the Centrelink lunchroom! Where's Albo?

Generous leave and flex time

Leave policies Travel allowances Plenty of others

moving expenses if you are moving to another city

The flex-time and leave policies are excellent.

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

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