APSC offers public servants 9 per cent pay rise over three years

Key points

• Commonwealth public servants have been offered a 9 per cent pay rise over three years. The Australian Public Service Commission tabled the proposal as part of bargaining across the public service.
• The offer includes a 3.2 per cent rise from next March, then 3 per cent in 2028 and 2.8 per cent in 2029. The Community and Public Sector Union says the offer falls short of its claim of 5 per cent a year or inflation, whichever is higher.
• Union members will vote on whether to accept the offer, and bargaining is continuing.
