Seems very fair that grads will start at APS4 next year. Would be good to see it extend to Career Starters, they are absolutely underpaid.

As a graduate, we start off a wage too low, and with our qualifications there should be a tier award rate if you have a Masters or PhD .

Graduate, BRISBANE - 25 Jul 2023
I am unsatisfied with my pay as I am still on probation as a graduate. Understandably, with decades of professional experience, this is a back step financially, but is a means to an end to get my foot in the door with the APS.

My salary is very generous for an entry-level job.

Superannuation is fantastic. The starting salary is a little lower compared to costs of living, especially with relocating for work, but salary progression is good with a pay increase in the first six months.
