I think that it is a good amount. I enjoy the flexibility I get through flexible working hours, flex leave and the work from home options.
Working in the public service means there are not really any unusual perks or benefits able to be offered. There is flexible working, meaning if you work extra hours they accumulate as extra time off which you can take (rather than payment for extra hours).
Great flexibility
Government offers a competitive base salary for entry level graduates who are seeking a pathway into the public service. A benefit offered by government is the fitness passport, which is a workplace health and fitness program that allows discounted access to various gyms and fitness centres.
