TNV 2009 Small-to-Medium Remuneration Benchmarking Report — 22.12.2009
The report analyses results from an online survey that collected responses about organisational size, salaries, other benefits, and professional development allowances of the main staff positions of 50 mostly small-to-medium Australian arts organisations. It provides breakdowns according to organisational turnover, and some simple analysis of the results. It includes some preliminary benchmarking against other sectors, but calls for more detailed research in this area.
The main finding of the report is that staff salaries, benefits and professional development budgets of small-to-medium arts organisations are still disappointingly low. Although there has been an increase (above CPI) in salaries compared with the Victorian AD/GM 2006 survey, there is still a long way to go to be in line with remuneration for similar roles in other sectors.
