Trainee wage rates
The Public Sector Commission has developed a trainee wages guide to assist public sector agencies to determine the correct wage rate for trainees.
The Department of Commerce issued a Circular to Departments and Authorities (no.10 of 2012) which outlines a new wage schedule for all trainees. To view the Department of Commerce's Circular to Departments and Authorities (no.10 of 2012), go to: www.commerce.wa.gov.au/LabourRelations/PDF/Circulars/2012_010.pdf
If you are interested in doing a traineeship with the WA State Government, go to the Getting a Job website and navigate to the Government traineeship program or School-based traineeship program links, for information on how to apply.
