A. For Semester 2 2022 the following pay rates will apply:

• Markers will be paid per item that they score. The item rate will be calculated at the end of the marking by taking the average item rate and equating this to be equivalent to $85 per hour with a paid 20-minute morning and afternoon break. Markers who mark more than the average rate will earn more and markers who mark less than the average rate will earn less. Markers will be paid $85 per hour during the initial marker training.

For Example:

Example 1: The average rate for an item is calculated at 20 per hour ($4.25 per item)

Example 2: The average rate for an item is calculated at 80 per hour ($1.06 per item)

Example 3: The average rate for an item is calculated at 33 per hour ($2.58 per item)

****The examples above are for illustrative purposes only, actual pay rates for each item will be calculated at the end of the marking****

A. There are a number of factors that will influence how quickly, or slowly, an item can be marked that need to be taken into consideration, including how candidates respond to each question. Some of this information is available before the marking weekend. However to ensure that fair rates are applied, so that the majority of markers will earn a similar amount to what they have in previous marking events, the rate is calculated once the marking is completed.

A. The segment that you will be assigned to will, wherever possible, be your first choice that you put on your application. If your first choice cannot be fulfilled, we will use your second (or potentially third choice) to assign you to a segment.

A. Markers are allocated to segments based on their previous experience, suitability for the segment, information we receive from CPA, and availability of places. Every effort is made to allocate markers to their first, second, or third preference - however on occasions where a particular segment requires more markers, suitably qualified markers will be allocated to a segment that was not part of their three preferences.
