Graduate teacher - regional: L2.2
A graduate teacher who commences employment in Broome is currently eligible for the graduate allowance and locality allowance.
The department is proposing to replace locality allowance with district allowance (DA). As a District 5 location, a graduate teacher in Broome would be entitled to a DA of $8,361 gross. This is a 141 per cent increase from the locality allowance they previously would have received. Graduates will also be entitled to a graduate allowance of $2,000 gross.
This means a L2.2 graduate teacher who works in Broome will currently have a starting gross salary of $90,089. This will increase to $105,988 – an increase of 17.65 per cent – by 2025.
(Please note that this does not factor in Country Teaching Program or Remote Teaching Service Allowances which apply to certain regional schools.)
