Salary at Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)

No bonuses but opportunity to work in acting positions. Regular pay review.

It's good for an entry level position.

Pay is good, no opportunity for bonuses/gifts (public service).

Pay is great, though progressing into higher pay levels can be a bit slow as the ABS doesn't often run recruiting rounds.

Pay is average for the level I am at, but the Leave and flexi time really make it more then worth while.

Relatively low compared to other graduate positions in government. Generous superannuation. Reasonable annual and personal leave.

ABS salaries can be found in our enterprise agreement. The pay is okay but is lower than other APS agencies such as the ATO for the same APS level.

For a graduate position, I think the pay is fair - generous superannuation above the 9.5% required

Pay is decent depending on what level you are at. Sometimes acting positions are paid lower than permanent positions in the same grade. This can be a worry for longer term contracts where you are doing the same work as a permanent staff member at the same level.

No bonuses. Starting pay is about average compared to elsewhere. Very rarely do permanent roles open up at higher levels. Difficult to progress career wise. As expected, pay increases are small compared to private industry, especially for data-related professions such as data science and data engineering. As, technical roles at the organisation get paid at the same level as people in non-technical roles (e.g., such as call center workers).

Annual salary is pretty standard at my level, additional superannuation is nice. More of a cap in earning potential in the long run, but per hour worked works out well.

Rigid pay and level structure means that there is no capacity for people with specialised skills to earn competitive wages with private sector. similarly bonuses are inexistent in public sector

Starting pay is low

The APS level system disincentivises hard work
