INTRODUCTION

AIMS members were once again invited to provide a snapshot of their current salary package via an online web survey so that information could be collated and this report prepared.

This report aims to represent a general overview of current salary trends in the profession of mine surveying and/or to assist as a potential 'benchmark' in any salary negotiations.

In addition it provides members' feedback on various aspects of AIMS services such as seminars and communications.

The results and summaries are independently compiled and produced by inTouch web services, who has managed our IT services since the early 2000's. Notwithstanding any errors or omissions, it is an accurate report of the information as provided by the AIMS members who participated in the survey.

Thanks to all who participated in the AIMS 2023 Salary Survey.

We hope that all AIMS members are able to benefit from this report.
