Salary at Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts

Decent, though I wish it was more reflective of what other departments make

I think our pay is very good but I do note other grads in other departments begin at an aps4 which might be more appropriate for the level of work we are doing.

As aps3/4, the pay is good for the level of responsibility and workload is expected of us at our level.

I think the pay is good for the level of work we do

We have a solid progression of pay and we are fairly renumerated. I am happy with it.

Pay is average/low

Should be higher and more in line with other departments, some teams work harder than others e.G. Aviation

Pay is fine, but pay in comparison to other departments is perhaps a smidgen low. People who do comparable work at other departments are uniformly payed more than at this department.

Can't complain with my level of experience

Pay commensurate with workload

Should be higher to be on par with other aps agencies.

It's the public service so very transparent. No bonuses unfortunately, but the path to promotion is clearly understood.

Since you are working for the government, there are no bonuses. Salary is adequate for the work you do.

The pay is good, but a lower pay scale than other federal departments.

Pay is ok - on aps scale, it's on the lower end I don't think we do bonuses?

The pay is lower than other aps workplaces, however the graduate program promotes graduates quickly

It seems to be that it is fairly easy to find a team that will support remote work arrangements to work out of a different city.

The department helps pay for your move if you are travelling interstate and provides storage and a couple of weeks accommodation for when you first move down and are looking for a place to stay. We have great leave and sick leave entitlements. Flexible working hours between 7am-7pm although that can be work area dependent.

Generous leave policies, wfh arrangements.

We have generous leave policies such as flex and christmas shutdown.

We have good leave. Not sure if we have any unusual perks

Generous leave policies and flexible working arrangements, a 'study day' to complete a graduate certificate through the university of canberra

Flex time. 15% Super!

16% super and flex is about it for the aps. Support for any move is also provided.

Relocation expenses were covered.

Relocation from brisbane to canberra was covered. We do have a higher earnings rate for super (at least until the rest of australia is brought into line). We sometimes get to travel to cool places, including christmas island or cairns, any of the capital cities, and in non-covid times internationally too I am told.

You have the most stable job in the country and one of the highest superannuation rate.

Moving expenses were covered

14.5% Superannuation contribution

Moving expenses, and flex time.

For the graduate program, moving expenses are paid, and there is the opportunity to get a graduate certificate in public administration from the uc as part of the program too (all paid for by the department!).
