The Tasmanian Liberal Government is negotiating with all unions in good faith to deliver wage increases that are fair, affordable, and reasonable.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff is pleased to advise that the Police Association of Tasmania has accepted the Government's wage agreement for the next three years.
"We welcome this announcement and the work undertaken by the Police Association of Tasmania and Tasmania Police in negotiating an agreement in good faith and achieving a great outcome for police officers," Premier Rockliff said.
"The offer provides a 3.5 per cent increase to wages in the first year, and 3 per cent each year for the next two years, together with other improved entitlements.
"This is a nationally-competitive and financially responsible offer that also meets cost of living pressures in Tasmania."
Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management, Felix Ellis said the agreement is in recognition of the hard work and service our police officers provide to the Tasmanian community.
"This offer will provide members of Tasmania Police with an important and well-deserved pay rise," he said.
"This agreement has been designed to include new increased allowances for frontline police officers based on their shift-work, regional stations, working remotely, and for specialist roles such as detectives, Operational Skills Unit and dog handlers.
"I would like to thank the Association for its hard work and collaboration in reaching this agreement."
The agreement will apply retrospectively, from the first full pay period on or after 1 December 2022.
