Thank you for your interest in pay equity funding.

Now that all equal pay funding supplementation for 2012-13 has been paid to community organisations, VCOSS is seeking information on whether the funding was sufficient to cover the cost of the increased wages and salaries.

In order to complete questionnaire you will need to know approximately how much your organisation's wages and salaries increased in 2012-13 as a result of the pay equity decision. You will also need to be in a position to assess the adequacy of additional funding provided to you by funding agencies in 2012-13.

Please complete the questionnaire once per organisation.

The survey is anonymous which means that results won’t be able to be identified as coming from you or the organisation you represent.

If you have any questions please contact Dev Mukherjee, VCISS Sector Sustainability Policy Adviser on 03 9235 1011 or email dev.mukherjee@vcoss.org.au.
