Rate guidance

Maximum rate: $123.87/hour including super

Azooa recommends bidding below the maximum rate to improve competitiveness and increase the chances of securing the role.

As a guide:

• Lower end: stronger chance of winning
• Mid-range: competitive where the candidate has strong Defence, NV1, training, communications, system rollout or testing support experience
• Near maximum rate: may still be considered where the candidate has niche Defence domain knowledge, current clearance, stakeholder engagement or system transition experience

Higher rates may still be considered where niche skills, current clearance, strong Defence experience or strong domain fit outweigh rate competitiveness. Final competitiveness will be driven by the market and the strength of available candidates.
