Don't miss participating in the WALGA Salary and Workforce Survey

The 2022-23 WALGA Salary and Workforce Survey opens today until 11 November 2022.
 
WALGA conducts the Local Government sector’s most comprehensive salary and workforce surveys in Australia. The survey provides Local Government members with online portal access and a report providing comprehensive remuneration and workforce data, and HR metrics for Local Governments in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
 
The survey results help guide Local Government recruitment and remuneration strategy and workforce plans, and measure performance across key HR metrics. The final report will be launched in February 2023.
 
What information is collected as part of the survey?
The survey collects Local Government HR and salary metrics on the following:

  • Remuneration – Salaries, allowances, superannuation, motor vehicles and pay rises
  • Workforce – Workforce profile and diversity
  • HR Metrics – Employee turnover and leave liability
  • Organisation – Corporate services and governance staffing levels and workforce priorities.
Results can be viewed in a customisable dashboard for your Local Government. This allows our members to search for salaries across a large range of Local Government positions for benchmarking and recruitment. You can view a video demonstration of the online portal here.
