The Executive Salary Expenditure Limit is a financial control for regulating the total cost of Western Australian public service executive positions.
It aligns agency executive resourcing levels with government policy and service delivery priorities, strengthens accountability and enhances responsiveness.
It comprises executive positions in the scope of Commissioner’s Instruction 32 and classified higher than the maximum salary payable for Level 8 officers under the Public Service Award 1992 and associated industrial agreement.
Monitoring and financial reporting on the Executive Salary Expenditure Limit is applied at individual agency and public service levels.
