Salary scales
Enterprise agreements
Salary packaging
QUT recognises that everyone has different needs, so we've designed flexible remuneration and salary packaging with you in mind. You can "sacrifice" part of your cash salary before tax to access benefits like additional superannuation contribution, vehicle leasing, on campus services such as childcare, parking, and gyms and pools, and more.
Support
Employee assistance program
We provide access to a confidential counselling service which all staff can use to help resolve and process a variety of challenges, both professional and personal.
Purchased leave scheme
We offer greater flexibility in employment for staff members who wish to extend their leave options for personal reasons or family responsibilities.
Indigenous staff network
QUT hosts an Indigenous staff network with regular meetings and lunches to connect and share.
Wellness
Leave
We provide all our employees with generous and fair leave entitlements to ensure that whatever your circumstance, you can achieve the work life balance you need. We work with how you live, not the other way around.
Health and wellbeing
The health and wellbeing of our staff is fundamental to a safe, productive workplace. We provide a number of resources and initiatives, supported by partnerships with wellness organisations and health care providers, to support your physical and mental health.
Employee health plan
QUT staff can now secure discounted rates on private health insurance with both Bupa and Medibank Private.
