Next incremental salary increase 

As of February 6 2010, all members will receive an incremental pay rise in line with the current enterprise agreement. 

As a consequence, your Association membership subscriptions will rise by a modest 50 cents per fortnight and by 35 cents for trainees. This increase will take effect from the next pay day, February 11, 2010. 

Allowances should be made for this increase in the coming pay period.
