What additional benefits do NT Correctional officers receive?
NT Correctional staff receive the Darwin locality allowance on top of base salary, shift penalties for evening and night shifts, weekend and public holiday loadings, and 25 days annual leave per year (compared to 20 days in other states). The NT Government also offers housing assistance schemes for some correctional staff based in Darwin and regional facilities. These conditions make the total package considerably above the base salary figures.
