I have been very happy with pay at CSIRO!
Graduate, Wollongong - 16 Nov 2023
I think it was a satisfactory salary when it was planned for but the last year of inflation and interest rate increases have meant the salary doesn't go as far. I'd prefer the cost of living decrease over pay rises because I work for the public so don't want to be a leech, but I have less control over the cost of living than I do my pay.

The pay is reasonable considering it is an internship and the amount of assistance you receive.
Intern, Canberra - 23 Dec 2021
Its more about the experience as the vacation program only runs for 10 weeks.
Intern, Brisbane - 20 Dec 2021
N/A. Standard for an internship
Intern, Melbourne - 20 Dec 2021
I am very happy with the amount I am being paid.
Intern, Melbourne - 20 Dec 2021
They pay is slightly less than other companies' summer vacation programs. In general pay is worse in academia
Intern, Sydney - 17 Dec 2021
this is the first student position I have actually been paid for so hey I'm happy
Graduate, Hobart - 17 Dec 2021
The pay at the internship level is extremely low in comparison to other companies.
Intern, Melbourne - 17 Dec 2021
I am very satisfied with my pay. It is very exciting to be paid as an intern as they often work for free
Intern, Hobart - 17 Dec 2021
For an internship pay is fine, I wouldn't do this for pay alone can get better money elsewhere. Only 8-12 weeks
Intern, Sydney - 17 Dec 2021
I am an intern so I am lucky to be being paid at all! Very happy to be paid.
Intern, Hobart - 17 Dec 2021
The pay is quite generous and the superannuation is amazing
Intern, Perth - 16 Dec 2021
As I am doing an internship, I think the pay is very good especially considering that a lot of organisations do not pay interns
Intern, Perth - 16 Dec 2021
I think getting paid for student vacation ship is a big bonus
Intern, Brisbane - 16 Dec 2021
As a vacation student my pay is much lower than the rest of the employees, though much better than many other companies that do unpaid internships.
Intern, Melbourne - 10 Dec 2021
I believe that CSIRO is paying students too low. The hourly rate is similar to a retail work environment.
Intern, Newcastle - 08 Dec 2021
I am just a student so I don't get bonuses, but pay is fine, its around 150 a day so its pretty good for a vacation student I'm pretty sure.
Intern, Sydney - 08 Dec 2021
As a student, usually you don't get paid at all by these companies but CSIRO pays all their student interns. It is Australian minimum wage however but with CSIRO having a great reputation it is great for a resume for a high paying job, or you can go on to work there for around 100k as an established employee after your degree.
Intern, Brisbane - 08 Dec 2021
I don't have any bonuses applicable to me. The pay is fortnightly which is a pain and weekly would be preferable to me.
