Project Information

In 2023, Curtin University proactively commenced a casual Pay Review to ensure our employees have been, and continue to be, paid correctly.

The review period covers 2 January 2015 – 5 January 2023 for current and former casual employees covered by the:

• Curtin University Academic, Professional & General Staff Agreement 2017-2021; and
• Curtin University Academic, Professional & General Staff Agreement 2012-2016

Due to differences in agreement commencement dates, the review period is 27 February 2015 – 5 January 2023 for current and former casual employees covered by the:

• Curtin University Early Childhood Centre Enterprise Agreement 2018-2021; and
• Curtin University Early Childhood Centre Enterprise Agreement 2014-2017

Curtin has been in communication with the Fair Work Ombudsman and the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) throughout the review process. We are also working with external advisors to carefully analyse data and calculate any amounts that may be payable to current and former employees.

The University has begun the process of notifying and making payments to impacted casual professional and general employees. This will continue over the coming months. Work relating to casual academic employees is ongoing.

More information is available in the FAQs below.

Current and former employees with any questions relating to the Pay Review can contact PayrollAssurance@curtin.edu.au
