Hello, I am currently working as a Graduate Mechanical Engineer in Western Australia. I am to complete one year with the same company soon and I got payslips and reference documents to prove the employment. But I think they paid me below the average annual salary of a graduate engineer.
Will this affect to claim the 5 points?
Hi, I'm not sure if there's such a benchmark, but the NES describes the minimum conditions of employment that your employer needs to follow. All of those need to have been addressed in your contract of employment. Maybe that can help?


And here's another link to calculate average pay of a graduate engineer depending in the state you live/ work in:


Hope that helps.

Thank you Latetfermal.
I have satisfied all the employment condition that mention on the website. But what I'm worried about is the salary which is greater than 19.5p/h
but it's little below what's on most sites including the one you have provided.
Hopefully, that will not affect claiming 5 points?!
I hope not. This will be to the discretion of EA. Maybe try call them up and ask if there's any salary benchmark?
