Appendix 5: Executive Remuneration
The Department is committed to remuneration and performance management arrangements for Senior Executive Service (SES) employees that are fair, transparent, reward outcomes and leadership, and support organisational performance, within the parameters of government policy.
The Secretary determines SES remuneration using the SES Remuneration and Performance Management Policy.
Consistent with the SES Remuneration and Performance Management Policy, the Secretary will undertake annual reviews of the department’s SES remuneration in comparison to the broader Australian Public Service Workplace Bargaining Policy. Discretionary remuneration adjustments may be made having regard to job factors, contribution of an individual, specialised skill sets, government policy and the fiscal environment.
