Dear Australian Public Service Commission,

I am requesting a document that shows the most current up-to-date pay scales for all APS agencies and/or prescribed authorities.

For context, the APSC published agency pay scales as of 31 August 2023 during the previous APS-wide bargaining process that outlined min and max salaries at each APS and EL1 level for over 100 different agencies. This document is accessible here: https://www.apsc.gov.au/sites/default/fi...

I am seeking a document like this as part of my request. If such a document does not exist, I refer you to the obligation to produce such a document under section 17 of the FOI Act using data held on your systems.

If you do not have the relevant information i oblige you to transfer this request to another relevant agency for processing.

There is significant public interest in having consolidated public service remuneration data publicly available for scrutiny and accountability of public expenditure and to allow current or prospective APS employees to see how their agency fares compared to other APS agencies. This will allow interrogation of the outcomes achieved by the realignment actions taken by the APSC to normalise pay across the APS, lack of which has led to massive staff turnover at certain agencies.

Yours faithfully,

VoxPopuli
