ADF Pay and Conditions Website (internet)

The approval of the Remuneration Review Project (RRP) by the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal (DFRT) has substantially changed how Army remunerates its Officers. The Officers pay structure had not been reviewed since the Dedman review of 1947 which introduced the common pay scale. RRP has seen the development and introduction of the GOPS which now pays Officers according to their work value.

Army Personnnel Agencies are responsible for ensuring the data listed is accurately recorded on PMKeyS:

• Sub-Unit Command proficiencies - CM

• Ensuring that all AR Officers it manages are remunerated IAW their data as recorded on PMKeyS - Project Officer

• Providing management advice to the delegate - Project Officer

• Providing advice to AR Officers - CM

• Representing individual AR cases to DEFPAY - Project Officer

• ARA Transfer to the Army Reserve and ASWOC - recognised competencies and commands - CM
