Pro Bono Australia is calling for responses to its seventh annual salary survey for those working in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector, encouraging all NFP employees to contribute.

The survey acts as a source of vital benchmarking data for key roles within the social sector, as well as executive and manager remuneration comparisons, professional development trends and remuneration policies implemented by organisations across the social sector.

This year’s salary survey aims to collect insights into remuneration trends, employee engagement and workplace benefits, including salary sacrificing and superannuation contributions.

All responses to the survey will be kept strictly confidential. The results will be published in April 2019. Participants who complete the survey will have access to 50 per cent off the report upon its release, and will also go in the draw to receive $500 to be donated by Pro Bono Australia to the charity of their choice.

Pro Bono Australia CEO and Founder Karen Mahlab AM said that the annual Salary Survey has become a trusted piece of social sector infrastructure by providing critical information to guide boards, management and individuals who want to be paid, and pay fairly.

“We are calling again for the NFP sector to participate in this 7-minute survey. The survey is the largest and most comprehensive remuneration report of its kind, providing extensive and practical information on selecting appropriate benchmarks and building a remuneration framework for Australia’s NFP sector,” Ms Mahlab said.
