Have your say on pay and conditions in the STEM workforce and have your voice heard in advocacy in our sector – the Professional Scientists’ Remuneration Survey 2025 is open now.
The Survey is Australia’s largest and most significant snapshot of the employment conditions of scientists and technologists. It is run by Professionals Australia in partnership with Science & Technology Australia.
The survey results provide a clear picture of pay, conditions and employment practices for Australia’s STEM professionals, and are used to advocate for better outcomes for those working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Against the backdrop of a once-in-a-generation R&D review that is seeking to turn around plummeting Australian R&D levels, which are half the OECD average, and a failure to translate local research into local productivity, we know we need a strong, engaged and supported workforce. This survey will inform that review.
The survey is open and can be completed now.
“I strongly encourage everyone working in STEM to take 15 minutes and complete the Professional Scientists’ Remuneration Survey 2025,” said STA Chief Executive Officer Ryan Winn.
“Your participation is crucial for shaping the future of Australia’s scientific workforce. By sharing your experiences, you provide essential data that will inform advocacy to Government to support the STEM sector and guide policy that affects our community.”
“Your input will help us understand Australia’s STEM workforce and the challenges it faces. Please take a moment to complete the survey – your response matters.”
All responses are confidential, and survey participants could win a $500 JB Hifi voucher.
