Salary at ACT Government

the grad program is one of the more highly paid public grad programs out there

The pay is transparent and there are no bonuses. ACT Government pays more than most graduate programs for my field.

We don't have bonuses... But pay is great.

Satisfactory.

Pay seems adequate and appropriate.

We get paid very well especially as a graduate level. If it weren't for the pay, I would've taken the offers in Victoria or Queensland.

Good. Transparent, competitive. Provides good conditions including the various types of leave.

For the work I am completing, the pay is good. We do not have bonuses, however I think I am being paid appropriately for the work and workload. Given the training and exposure opportunities provided which can help my career long term, I think it is a very good pay package.

While pay is good for someone coming straight out of university, it is poor for people changing careers, people with families, and people trying to rebuild themselves after raising a family.

The pay is good but the cost of living in Canberra can be difficult to manage.

Pay is great. There's health and wellbeing bonuses, disability leave etc.

Pay is good however it is disappointing that pay does not meet the rate of inflation. Other than that, the pay with ACT government is pretty good. Bonuses are non-existent though.

Graduate pay, although the best in the country, is still pretty poor to live in Canberra. I don't have many thoughts on this. I make do. I don't really care about pay. I can live at this stage so that's okay, of course I would care for a little more in the back pocket. Sometimes I'm pay packet to pay packet.

The pay is relatively high compared to other graduate programs, but it does not quite align with cost-of-living pressures. The flex time is very good, but the bonuses are an unknown at this point.

More than satisfied.

The pay in the ACT PS for a graduate is one of the best in the country.

I think the pay is fair, I think the eba process is constructive, but there are circumstances where it isn't enough to draw in the skills and expertise that we need.

No bonus, comparatively low pay rates

The EBA agreement has been approve and we get the pay rise and back pay which is fantastic. The pay is good in the ACT Government.

As a Grad, I am chuffed with the pay. Though EBA deal was pretty ordinary

extremely generous leave policies and pretty progressive too

None that I know of.

We have an inclusive leave policy with extra leave for gender affirmation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ceremonies, Miscarriage/Stillbirth, and extra personal leave in special circumstances. There is a superannuation scheme where the employer contributes and extra percent of super if we voluntarily contribute 3% or more. There are no other perks.

Flexy work arrangements. the opportunity to serve the community. Canberra's a great place to live.

Flexible work (e.g. wfh). Networking opportunities and events as part of the grad program.

Progressive and considerate leave policies including disability leave, wellbeing reimbursement

Flex. Never change it.

Perks as an employment compensation crutch are garbage. I want clear and good conditions with reliable pay, and I'll take care of the rest. The single best aspect regarding employment conditions are the good leave arrangements.

I personally am not too aware of all the perks (however I am sure there are some). I know there is some sort of rebate available for health costs (maybe getting money back for gym equipment). There are a lot of salary sacrifice options which I personally see as a perk and there is gym equipment in the office which I sometimes use so I don't have to pay for a gym membership.

There are no perks that I know of.

The very initial support is good but there is little to none afterwards.

Unfortunately no perks like that exist. However we have perks such as flex time, hybrid location working and occasional events for cultural learning and mental health awareness.

There are a wide variety of different leave types available to employees. ACT Government employees also get discounted gym membership with Club Lime, and can be reimbursed for some health and wellbeing activities (for example if you join a sports team, buy exercise equipment etc.)

Health and wellbeing bonus for things like a Pilates class, sneakers etc. (100); moving expenses covered, generous leave policies, a lot of co-working spaces in the city, super progressive enterprise agreements

Don't know about any. Leave policies are OK I suppose. Moving expenses was something that attracted me, but it was incredibly difficult to access and turned out I wasn't entitled to something for some silly administrative reason.

Not sure at this point apart from Employee Assistance Package.

The flexibility is a great perk. The comfort that some teams have in taking the occasional team lunch or other social event is nice. The $100 lifestyle/exercise bonus is also helpful

flexible working mode

Donating blood counts as time at work.

Generous leave policies. Flex leave is fantastic and there are many different types of leave to cover certain reasons, such as leave specifically for representative sport, which is great for me as an athlete.
