Purchase of the survey report

The Professional Scientists Employment and Remuneration Report (“Report”) is published by Professionals Australia and is available for purchase by both Professionals Australia members (“Members”) and the general public (“Corporate / Non-members”). As a benefit of their Professionals Australia membership, members are entitled to a discount, but only under the terms and conditions detailed below.

Organisations who wish to utilise the information contained within the Report or online to review employee salaries must purchase the Report at the normal corporate price. Professionals Australia reserves the right to reject any corporate order placed using a member’s ID to obtain a discount, if deemed to be in breach of these terms and conditions of purchase.

The information contained within the Report is intended only for disclosure to and use by the person and/or organisation whose name and address has been recorded by Professionals Australia as the purchaser of the Report (“the Purchaser”).

Report Delivery

The Professional Scientists Employment and Remuneration Report is published as a downloadable pdf, as a downloadable excel spreadsheet and an interactive online database accessible via the Professionals Australia website using a unique username and password combination.

The purchaser is responsible for obtaining the necessary software required to access and view the downloadable report files. Professionals Australia takes no responsibility for any technical difficulties arising from accessing these files once successfully downloaded from our website.

Access to the report requires use of unique log-in credentials issued by Professionals Australia to the purchaser. Credentials can take up to a full business day to be issued. Contact Professionals Australia directly if you require these to be issued sooner, or have difficulties logging in.

Tax invoice

Once your online e-commerce transaction is complete, a confirmation page will be presented. Please print the confirmation page, as this represents your receipt/tax invoice for GST purposes.

Orders placed by other means will be supplied with a tax invoice by post once your order has been processed and payment received.

Members’ only / Participants’ price

Those persons who purchase a copy of the Report using a valid Professionals Australia membership ID to receive the members’ only discount price (“the discount price”), must not distribute the information contained in the Report, nor the username and password assigned for online access, to their employer, colleagues, employees or any other person(s), without consent from Professionals Australia.

The purchase of the Report by either members or participants at the discount price allows use of the printed report and the username/password for online access by the Purchaser only. Purchasers cannot buy the Report at the discount price on behalf of their employer or any other organisation. Members may only purchase one (1) copy per edition of the Survey Report at the discount price – any subsequent purchases will be charged at the normal corporate rate.

Use of the salary calculator

As a benefit of their Professionals Australia membership, Professionals Australia members may access the Professional Scientist Salary Calculator (“salary calculator”) free of charge by logging in using their membership details. However, the online salary calculator contains information that is proprietary and valuable to Professionals Australia, so accordingly the information is intended only for disclosure to and use by fee-paying, financial Professionals Australia members.

Professionals Australia members may only utilise the data contained online for their own personal use (i.e. in determining details for their own salary).

Professionals Australia members must not:

• distribute the information contained in the online survey to their employer, colleagues, employees or any other person(s) (“others”) without consent from Professionals Australia
• login to the online survey to source salary details on behalf of others
• share their Professionals Australia membership login details with others

Corporate / Non-members

Non-members can access the online data by purchasing the Report, and logging in using the details supplied by Professionals Australia.

The information accessible via the salary calculator contains information that is proprietary and valuable to Professionals Australia, and is intended only for disclosure to and use by the person and/or organisation whose name and address has been recorded by Professionals Australia as the purchaser of the Report.

The Username and Password details provided for access to the online salary calculator are confidential. They are to be used only by the Purchaser and it is a breach of the conditions of sale to distribute these details to any third party without the consent of Professionals Australia.

Online access

Access to the online survey database and downloadable pdf is not instantaneous. The username and password details will be forwarded to you by email generally within the same or next business day of receipt of your order.
