Salary at Australian National Audit Office (ANAO)

One of the highest paying employers in the aps

I think the anao staff gets decent pay and conditions. starting salary is especially competitive, and 15.4% super is also great. i feel that pay arrangements for performance auditors can be somewhat tricky. because there isn't a 'performance auditing' discipline, a lot of performance auditors are sourced from a range of different sectors, including in some industries with high salary expectations (such as law, some stem backgrounds, from the big4 consultants, etc.). it is probably unrealistic to be able to match private sector wages especially at higher classifications. therefore other benefits (such as flexibility and good employment conditions) are equally as important as competitive salary (which is also still very important!).

Public service salary, benefits etc are always good!

The pay is reasonable. there are no bonuses

Well paid, as public sector entity bonuses are limited.

Pay is very good, as far as i know it is one of the highest within the aps.

I don't think bonuses are an effective incentive to get staff to perform in the public service

The pay and bonuses are reasonable, although many would suggest that it is misaligned to the responsibilities.

We are compensated a little more than average compared to larger departments of state, and i believe this is fair given the technical skills required for the work.

Good

There are no longer bonuses, but the pay is quite reasonable as a graduate and above, given the flex and work-life balance

It could be a little bit higher, compared to some other commonwealth departments, however the work makes up for this.

Competitive pay compared to private firms. pay for a graduate is very high and excludes things such as travel allowance.

No bonuses, but automatic promotion at the end of an 11 month program

Satisfied with the current conditions and haven't considered in much depth.

Quite high for graduate level and super is fantastic.

High starting salary for a grad, maybe slightly less than other aps departments but comes with greater opportunities for experience and career progression. n/a for bonuses at my level.

Fair for the work expected at the junior to intermediate level. after that not so fair.

Moving expenses, good super

Public sector entity, perks are limited.

Nothing too crazy, but some you can get reimbursed for glasses.

Ftravelling to or working from client offices is a regular occurrence which is reimbursed.

Moving costs are paid for upon relocation.

The potential to win an australia day award that comes with an akubra hat. also, we have quarterly town hall meetings that includes morning tea and you get to hear directly from the auditor general about his thoughts. also, given the anao is small, you may even end up in the lift with the auditor general, who always says hello.

Travel around australia

Flexibility and security

Your relocation is paid for, you're given temp accommodation, and if you have to spend out of your own pocket for work, you're reimbursed right away!

Learning and development opportunities / training is absolutely top class.

Can see parliament house in the next street, they helped me to move from queensland and i get to visit different places like government house all for work.

Parking is reimbursed while at the client. moving expenses and 3 weeks rent are paid for when moving to start as a grad.

Study assistance

Moving expenses and support during the move to canberra were a huge bonus. in addition, the travel i have undertaken for work has been a great perk.
