How does Tasmania SES pay compare to other states?
Tasmania's SES 1–4 range ($160,757–$315,821) is broadly comparable to Victorian SES Band 1–3 and NSW Senior Executive Band 1–3. Tasmania's lower population base means fewer SES positions exist relative to larger states. The 12% employer superannuation rate is the same as all other state jurisdictions. SES remuneration is separately determined; the general-stream PSUWA increase does not establish an SES increase.
What conditions apply to Tasmania SES employees?
Tasmania SES employees are engaged under the State Service Act 2000 on fixed-term or ongoing contracts. SES roles are not classified under the standard band structure and typically include performance-based components. SES employees are generally excluded from the standard award overtime and shift penalty provisions, with total remuneration reflecting the senior leadership responsibilities of the role.
