AGSVA number of cleaners Australia-wide with NV1 or above clearances.
Dear Department of Defence,
In preparation for a submission to the Fair Work Commission for a new allowance to be created, for cleaners with an AGSVA NV1 or above clearance level, to be granted an above award rate, it would be useful to know the total number of personnel involved Australia-wide and across all cleaning services contractors, to help determine whether or not this would be a worthwhile exercise numbers wise. The aim here is to ensure that cleaners, who go through the extensive requirements to obtain and maintain such a clearance level, receive a suitable level of remuneration above the basic award rates for the higher level of services they provide.
Your support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Anthony Moore
