advice online has been put together to equip members with the knowledge and expertise needed in their day to day working lives as professionals. The information is reliable, detailed and accurate, and maintained by our National Information Desk staff who can be contacted by email at adviceonline@apesma.asn.au.

The service is not intended to replace speaking with an Industrial Officer where more detailed and specific information is needed – in fact, very often members will be entitled to or able to negotiate better salaries and conditions than set out here. But it does give you a starting point, and provides direct email contact with APESMA for further specialist personalised advice on how the information set out here sits with the particular industrial instrument governing your employment.
