Salary at Department of Transport and Main Roads

This is my first job and I did not think I could earn what I do with all of the extra benefits such as learning opportunities, professional membership and flexible working hours.

Learning and working at the same time... I can't demand better than that.

It is lower than the general market, but it provides job security.

Pretty happy with my pay, we are about to get a pay increase as well.

The pay of a government is not at competitive as the private industry, however, the company is more prepared to fight alongside an employee in the event something goes wrong. As a graduate bonuses are limited.

Good starting rate for graduates, but not competitive compared to private industry at higher levels.

Pay is fair. Bonuses in the standard sense aren't available, but there is a healthy superannuation compensation, leave loading is paid, and cost of living adjustments are paid out once a year. As well as this, there are a few claimable expenses, such as a small health allowance, and support for professional memberships. The company routinely goes through enterprise bargaining agreements, so pay rises are common and expected year on year.

Early-career pay is competitive and attractive, particularly taking working hours and flexibility into account, however pay progression is relatively slow depending on field of work.

There are no bonus in TMR, but the pay is great for a graduate.

There are no bonuses. Salary is quite competitive.

It's good, but I'm a lil nervous with the cost of living in general. Like its more than i've been paid before but I will be living by myself ect.

Pay at the organisation is acceptable at the graduate level. Bonuses aren't really a thing.

Very low compared to private entities

I believe the pay rate for the department engineer is under the industry average

Somewhat relative to private industry as a graduate however when looking at P03 and above positions the compensation starts to fall significantly behind. There are no bonuses to speak of.

Graduate salaries are reasonably standard, but they offer a fantastic way to gain experience in a government role.

Bonuses do not occur within the public service. We do receive healthy Superannuation contributions however. Pay is competitive, and as progression to higher roles or higher duties is easier, pay can be considered higher than other companies.

TMR reimburses my professional membership to the Institute of Internal Audit every year.

Moving expenses, generous leave policies, locality allowance, etc..

Leave policies and higher supper.

Gym membership discount, and moving expense compensation

Generous leave and super

Access to a government only rooftop bar is a nice perk after a look week, ability to build up and take accrued leave has its benefits for a improved work/life balance. Higher then typical Super contributions is a nice benefit helping set post-work life up.

Leave is encouraged and ample. The accrual and spending of flex time is encouraged also, which makes adjusting a work-life balance easy.

The best perks are private health, salary sacrifice options, health reimbursements, work flexibility arrangements and leave entitlements. No unusual perks.

Generous leave policies and Flexi work arangement

Flex hours and WFH arrangements are nice perks but are not unusual in this day and age. The access to mental health services is a nice perk.

None

Leave policies

Good access to additional training if requested. Relocation fees covered. Work related travel costs are covered. However there are little to no other perks to speak of.

Generally, government positions are flexible and secure. I appreciate the amount of opportunities there are to grow, develop and move around.

Leave policies within TMR are generous. The system is easy to navigate, managers are approachable about leave conversations, and accrued time off means that if a day off is needed it is extremely easy to get. Moving expenses can be covered by those moving a long distance for work, but I have not experienced this.
