Note that while the cost of most appointments on a grant application will be calculated using Deakin Salary scales, some granting bodies require that costs included in the budget request are pegged to external scales such as the ARC's Fellowship Scales . Applicants should be aware that the end result of this is that, while the funding body provides funding at the level shown in the salary scale, Deakin's rates as determined by enterprise bargaining are the rates that will actually be paid should the grant be awarded. In practice, this usually means that there is a shortfall between what is awarded and what is paid which has to be made up from university funds (ie from the resources of the academic unit in question).
Please note that the figures do not include on costs.
