Notes:
- The number of senior executives listed above is the number of individual SES not the number of SES positions. Staff who were permanently appointed to or acted in an SES level position for a period longer than 6 months are included.
- Other Benefits and Allowances includes the value of items such as housing (including overseas), motor vehicle allowances, retention bonuses, cost of living allowances (to support members and their families in remote or overseas locations), and any Reportable Fringe Benefits Tax payable by Defence. This column includes non-cash benefits.
- In accordance with APSC Guidelines, as a general rule, the standard formula of two weeks’ pay per year of service, to a maximum of 48 weeks, is an appropriate reference point for calculating termination payments under an incentive to retire package.
