SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES TRIBUNAL
SA401
SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES ACT 1975
DETERMINATION OF THE SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES TRIBUNAL
FOR MEMBERS OF UNIVERSITY GOVERNING COUNCILS
PREAMBLE
Statutory context
(1) In accordance with section 6(1)(ea) of the Salaries and Allowances Act 1975 (the Act), the Salaries
and Allowances Tribunal (the Tribunal) is required to inquire into and determine, on an annual
basis, the remuneration provided to members of University Governing Councils. These apply only
to the four public universities based in Western Australia (namely, Curtin University, Edith Cowan
University, Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia).
(2) The Tribunal’s last Determination was issued on 21 November 2023.
Inquiry
(3) The Tribunal has reviewed the operation of the previous Determination and invited submissions
from the respective Universities.
(4) The Council of Curtin University, Council of Edith Cowan University (ECU) and the Senate of
Murdoch University each provided a submission. No submission was received from the University
of Western Australia.
Conclusion
(5) The Tribunal has determined to increase remuneration by 4% across all categories. This increase
is consistent with the decisions made by the Tribunal across its other jurisdictions in 2024.
(6) The Tribunal has also supported the requests by the Council of ECU and the Senate of Murdoch
University to establish and maintain parity respectively with the rates provided to Curtin
University.
(7) The Tribunal has re-affirmed its decision from past determinations not to support the Council of
ECU’s request for equivalent remuneration for student and non-student members. Currently ECU
remunerates student members at half of the non-student member rate. The Tribunal maintains
the view that non-student members of the Council are remunerated for the greater depth of skills
and external experience they bring to the Council, whereas it is unlikely that student members will
have an equivalent depth of capacity in these areas. Accordingly, the Tribunal has determined to
maintain the 50% difference in remuneration between student and non-student members of the
Council of ECU.
(8) To ensure parity, the Tribunal has decided to increase the student remuneration rates for Curtin
and Murdoch Universities from 33% to 50% of the equivalent non-student rate.
10 December 2024 GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, WA 2951
(9) The Tribunal has also removed clauses from the determination relating to the requirement that
members must make an annual application to the respective governing council to receive the
remuneration determined. Members should now receive their determined remuneration
automatically without the administrative requirement to apply for the remuneration.
(10) The Tribunal acknowledges that, while it has the power to determine the remuneration for
University Governing Council members, any remuneration must be met from within University
existing budgets and must be for the fulfilment of University strategic objectives.
(11) By necessity, any remuneration determined is done in consultation with each University. The
Tribunal will continue to liaise with the sector to ensure the fee structure remains relevant for
each University.
The Determination will now issue.
