Good pay for what it is
Pros
More annual leave than most, you still get a day in lieu even if you aren’t rostered to work a holiday. Approx 40 AL and 12 days SL. Training is comprehensive.
Cons
You can work 5 hours straight without any rest if your break is assigned as first duty. Illegal if it wasn’t for a loophole that we are “emergency services” or “national security”. And no you can’t come to work late if your break is first duty because it could change last minute. Your annual leave will likely be declined unless booked a year in advance. 3 days off is more like 2.5 because you wake up late for first day and sleep early for the last day. 3am starts. Park and Ride bus adds 30 min to your commute. No variety in duties, 30mins patdowns and 30 min bag search, 30 min patdowns, repeat. Could go for years without unlocking duties that offer variety.
