The Professional Scientist Remuneration Survey Report contains salary information based on the results of APESMA's annual survey of professional scientists. The invitation to participate was forwarded to scientists by organisations belonging to Science & Technology Australia (formerly the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technical Societies - FASTS), as well as to the scientific membership of the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia.

Nearly 1,800 completed questionnaires were returned by the many thousands of scientists offered an opportunity to participate. All amounts are in Australian dollars ($AUD).
