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!).

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

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.

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

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

Pay is very good, as far as I know it is one of the highest within the APS.
