Police salary in Australia, by state & rank

A police officer's salary in Australia depends on which force they serve in and their rank. Each state and territory police force — and the Australian Federal Police — pays under its own award or enterprise agreement, rising from recruit or probationary constable through constable, senior constable and sergeant to commissioned ranks, with shift, weekend and public-holiday penalties and allowances paid on top.

Pick your force to see its current pay scale by rank — the same rates, penalties and allowances that power MyRoster's calculations.
