Since 2001, JU&A has conducted the NESR in response to a need for industry-specific salary benchmarks. The NESR provides information on salary and benefits benchmarks by state, location, size and type of organisation for all the standard executive positions within aged residential and home care.
 
A unique feature of this survey is that it is constantly updated. It is not just an ‘annual’ survey. New participants enter their data throughout the year (and we review the data and then upload it). For a small annual cost, participants can then access the latest data whenever it is needed: budget time, staff appraisals, staff recruitment, and so on.  
 
When issuing the results, we assure full confidentiality: each participant is given a code and we always round the numbers of RACS places in each facility to the nearest 10.
 
Participation is fast and easy. For details on how to participate, please email Isabelle - isabelle@underwoods.com.au.
