Where the AFP pay deal stands in October 2026
Two of three rises paid, the last one due on 9 December 2026, then bargaining for a new agreement.
AFP pay is set by the Australian Federal Police Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 (Fair Work Commission agreement AE526995). It started on 9 December 2024 with a 4.5% rise, added 4.0% on 9 December 2025 and has one rise left: 2.7% on 9 December 2026. Its nominal expiry date is 9 December 2027.
The rates are already in the agreement, so the December rise doesn't need a vote or a new decision. After it, nothing further is scheduled. The AFP Association (AFPA) has started setting out what it wants in the next agreement, and a Fair Work Commission ruling in June 2026 has put the AFP's consultation arrangements under the spotlight.

Who the AFP agreement covers: AFP, ACT Policing and PSOs
One agreement covers most AFP employees: national police, ACT Policing, Protective Service Officers (PSOs), unsworn staff and the Executive Level. ACT Policing officers are AFP employees on exactly the same pay scale; there's no separate ACT table. The Senior Executive Service is excluded, as are staff deployed overseas under a s40H(2) determination (other than external territories) and certain special members.

Base salary from the agreement's Attachment A. The 22% Core Composite isn't paid to recruits at the College.
The agreement uses broadbands, not rank titles. Bands 2 to 5 are the constable and PSO broadbands, and Bands 6 and 7 are team leader and sergeant. It doesn't map bands to titles such as Senior Constable or Leading Senior Constable, so this page uses band numbers.
How the 2024-2027 agreement was made
The Fair Work Commission approved the agreement on 2 December 2024 ([2024] FWCA 4231, Deputy President Dean). It took effect a week later, on 9 December 2024, with the first rise. Both the AFPA and the CPSU are covered by it. Our sources don't include the employee vote figures.

9 December 2027The agreement keeps operating after this date until a new one replaces it, but no further rises are scheduled.
What the agreement changed, beyond the percentages
The headline rises total 11.6% compounded over three years. Several of the other changes matter as much to officers on the road, especially the move to fixed-dollar allowances that rise each December.

What worked for members
- ✓A 4.5% first rise, paid from day one with no back-pay wait
- ✓Use of Force allowance up by a third over the deal, to $4,000
- ✓Faster access to Band 5 for experienced police, including transferees
- ✓15.4% super, well above the 12% guarantee
Where it falls short
- ✕The final rise is only 2.7%, below SA's proposed 4% and NT's 3% floor
- ✕The AFPA says AFP pay is losing ground against other police forces
- ✕Nothing is scheduled after December 2026
- ✕The FWC found the consultative committee wasn't validly set up
Scheduled rises and pay at key bands
The agreement words the second and third rises as 12 and 24 months after the commencement date. That makes them 9 December 2025 and 9 December 2026, which is our calculation from the wording; the AFPA's fee table confirms the 9 December 2025 rates are current.

The composite columns assume the 22% Core Composite for the Operations or Rostered Operations working pattern; recruits at the College don't get it. After-tax uses 2026-27 resident rates and the Medicare levy, with no HELP debt.
For a newly sworn constable at 2.4, base pay rises to $74,270, or $2,847.41 a fortnight under the agreement's formula. With the composite and the higher Use of Force allowance, the package goes from $91,726.74 to $94,609.40 (our calculation, using the AFP's own package method). That's $2,883 more a year, of which $500 is the allowance increase.
Overtime moves too. The agreement's Overtime Rate is (annual salary × 12 ÷ 313) ÷ 40, which is double the base hourly rate. At 2.4 it goes from $69.31 to $71.19 an hour. Compare forces in police overtime and penalty rates.

Back pay and timing
Because every rise in this agreement has a fixed date, there's no back pay to chase for the current deal: the 9 December 2026 rate should appear from that date. The agreement started a week after approval, so even the first rise was paid without a long wait.
On your first payslip after 9 December 2026, check
- ✓ Your base rate matches the 9 December 2026 column for your pay point
- ✓ The 22% Core Composite is recalculated on the new base
- ✓ The Use of Force allowance has moved to $4,000 a year
- ✓ Night shift ($10.15/hr) and weekend unsociable hours ($5.14/hr) are at the new rates
- ✓ Any part-fortnight is split correctly between the old and new rates
Back pay becomes relevant for the next agreement. The 2024 agreement was approved before its first rise was due. If the next one isn't approved by 9 December 2027, whether its first rise is backdated will depend on what's negotiated, so it's worth watching for in any offer.
The Fair Work Commission's consultation ruling, June 2026
On 23 June 2026, Fair Work Commissioner Rogers found that the AFP Consultative Committee hadn't been validly established under clauses 98(23) and 98(24) of the agreement. The Commission held that the agreement required express positive agreement on the committee's structure, terms of reference and representation, and that agreement couldn't be assumed from silence.
The ruling doesn't change pay rates. It matters because the committee is the agreement's main forum for consulting staff about workplace change. The AFPA welcomed the decision on 30 June 2026. It said it would seek urgent talks with the AFP to agree the committee's structure, terms of reference and representation. It also asked for decision registers and minutes from past meetings so earlier matters could be looked at again by a properly constituted committee.
Why it matters for the next agreement
A dispute about how the current agreement's consultation clauses work is a sign of how the next round may run. Expect consultation rights to be on the table alongside pay.
The next AFP agreement: what the AFPA is asking for
On 21 August 2026 the AFPA argued that the AFP's growing workload needs more funding and fairer pay. AFPA President Alex Caruana argued the AFP shouldn't be treated like just another public service department. The association said the next agreement must deal with pay and allowances, rostering, fatigue and overtime, retention and recruitment, and the AFP's competitiveness with other police forces.

AFR figure cited by the AFPA
The AFPA also points out that Federal Policing staffing is forecast to fall from 3,998 to 3,956. ACT Policing has its own pressures: the AFPA said in December 2025 that it was about 300 sworn members short, with 767 sworn officers among 1,037 staff in June 2025.
We haven't found a published bargaining timetable for the agreement after December 2027, or confirmed how the Commonwealth's wages policy will apply to it. With the final rise only 2.7%, the gap to other forces is likely to be the AFPA's central argument.
After 9 December 2026 there's no scheduled AFP pay rise. Everything after that has to be bargained for.

First-year figures are base salary before loadings or allowances. The AFP's 22% composite and the $3,500 Use of Force allowance are on top.
The AFP's three-year total of 11.6% is ahead of Tasmania's three rises but behind the NT's front-loaded deal; see the NT Police pay deal and the Tasmania Police pay deal. The SA Police pay deal proposes 4% a year to 2030, but it isn't agreed yet.

AFPA: more responsibilities must come with more funding and fairer pay
21 August 2026AFP spent $523m on protection in 2024-25 (AFR).

The next and final rise under the AFP Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 is 2.7% from 9 December 2026. The agreement words it as 24 months after the commencement date of 9 December 2024, so the date is our calculation. A Band 2.4 constable moves from $72,317 to $74,270 base, and the Use of Force allowance rises to $4,000.
Does the AFP pay rise apply to ACT Policing?
Yes. ACT Policing officers are AFP employees covered by the same enterprise agreement and paid on the same scale. There's no separate ACT Policing pay table. The agreement also covers Protective Service Officers and most unsworn AFP staff, but not the Senior Executive Service.
When does the AFP enterprise agreement expire?
Its nominal expiry date is 9 December 2027. Under the Fair Work Act, an enterprise agreement keeps operating after its nominal expiry until it's replaced or terminated, so pay doesn't stop. But there are no rises scheduled after 9 December 2026, so any further increase needs a new agreement.
Will AFP members get back pay?
Not for the current rises: they're written into the agreement with fixed dates, so they're paid from those dates. Back pay becomes a question for the next agreement. If it's approved after 9 December 2027, whether a first rise is backdated depends on what's negotiated.
How much does an AFP constable earn with the composite?
The AFP advertises $91,726.74 for a Band 2.4 constable: $72,317 base plus the 22% Core Composite plus the $3,500 Use of Force allowance. From 9 December 2026 the same calculation gives $94,609.40 (our calculation). Overtime, night shift and weekend allowances are on top.
What did the Fair Work Commission decide about the AFP Consultative Committee?
On 23 June 2026 Commissioner Rogers found the AFP Consultative Committee hadn't been validly established under clauses 98(23) and 98(24) of the agreement, because express positive agreement on its structure, terms of reference and representation was needed. The AFPA welcomed the decision and sought urgent talks to set it up properly.
What is the AFPA asking for in the next AFP agreement?
In August 2026 the AFPA said the next agreement must address pay and allowances, rostering, fatigue and overtime, retention and recruitment, and competitiveness with other police forces. It pointed to the 2026-27 Budget lifting AFP funding to $2.66 billion while average staffing rises only from 8,094 to 8,195.
What super do AFP members get?
The AFP pays 15.4% employer super for PSSap and other accumulation fund members, including during paid parental leave. The 22% Core Composite counts as salary for super, so composite-paid officers get 15.4% on it too. Most other allowances, including the 35% High Volume composite, don't count.
