The 2006-2007 Annual Report shows that in addition to the two Senior Officers receiving
'fees, salaries, non-monetary benefits, superannuation and other benefits'
in excess of $140,000 in 2005-2006:
· there were 6 officers in the range $120,000 to $130,000; and
· a further 4 officers in the range $130,000 to $140,000.
In February 2007, public sector employees received a 4% salary increase which increased the salary of 6 employees into the higher range. In addition, two senior officers occupied positions of increased responsibility within the revised corporate structure of the Department of Education and Training and two new executive roles were established. The impact of these factors increased the number of officers in the salary ranges over $140,000 to 10 in 2006-2007.
