Remuneration bands for executives in prescribed public entities

The Tribunal is responsible for setting the values of the remuneration bands for executives employed in prescribed public entities and for making Guidelines relating to the placement of executives within the bands.

Values of the remuneration bands from 1 July 2023

From 1 July 2023, the values of the remuneration bands for executives employed in prescribed public entities are:

Classification

Base of band TRP(a)

($ per annum)

Top of band TRP(a)

($ per annum)

Public Entity Senior Executive Service-1(b)151,134279,238
Public Entity Senior Executive Service-2279,239401,017
Public Entity Senior Executive Service-3401,018533,431
Notes:

(a) The Public Entity Executive Handbook defines total remuneration (TRP) as the sum of: base salary; superannuation contributions; employment benefits (i.e. non-salary) specified in the executive’s contract of employment; the annual cost to the employer of providing the non-monetary benefits, including any fringe benefits tax payable. The values in the table are for executives employed on a 1.0 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) basis, and apply pro rata to executives employed on a part-time basis.

(b) When the work value of an executive’s position has been assessed using the Public Entity Executive Classification Framework (PEECF) and the position has a work value score of at least 21 points, the executive’s total remuneration package (TRP) must be no lower than $216,376 per annum (based on 1.0 FTE). Once the work value of executive roles in prescribed public entities has been obtained using the PEECF, the only executives in prescribed public entities with a TRP between $151,134 and $216,375 per annum (based on 1.0 FTE) may be Chief Executive Officers (or equivalent roles) whose position does not meet the minimum work value score required for their classification to be determined under that framework (21 points).
