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.

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.

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.

Bonuses don't seem to be a thing.
Graduate, Melbourne - 02 Nov 2023
I would make more money in the private sector.
No bonuses.
Graduate, Canberra - 02 Nov 2023
It is completely unacceptable to be paid at a lower level than colleagues performing the same work.

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.
Graduate, Brisbane - 30 Oct 2023
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.

Bonuses? hahah
Union is fighting for a decent payrise. Albo is being a stinge.
Graduate, Perth - 30 Oct 2023
Pay needs to be higher. Bonuses do not exist
Graduate, Sydney - 30 Oct 2023
Pay is alright for now, more bonuses outside of increased super would be nice.
Graduate, Perth - 30 Oct 2023
Decent salary at graduate level if you have done something higher than a Bachelor's degree
Graduate, Brisbane - 30 Oct 2023
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
Graduate, Adelaide - 30 Oct 2023
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.
Graduate, Adelaide - 30 Oct 2023
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.

Need to be increased
