Salary at WA Department of Health

The pay is very competitive to private sector at entry and lower level positions, but this is less the case as you move up in the organisation

The department aligns to public sector wage awards. Responsibility is rewarded financially. Bonuses do not occur in the public sector, but public sector holidays and leave loading are enjoyable perks.

Very competitive pay as an entry level worker, good awards including salary sacrificing.

The salary is very high compared to other places of work. As a government organisation, there are no bonuses.

I work for the government so pay scales are very clear and transparent - I like this.

Although we do not receive bonuses, graduates who work within the Department of Health can expect extremely attractive salaries in comparison to the private sector.

There is availability of salary packaging and gym facilities

Being able to take personal leave to attend medical appointments is really useful.

Lots of professional development.

Salary Packaging- we are entitled to Fringe Benefits Tax because we work for a Public Benevolent Institution and can use this to package rent, cars, mortgage etc.
