What do AO, PO, TO and OO mean?

Is super included?
No. Employer super is paid on top of these salaries.
Do all Queensland departments pay these rates?
These figures are from the Department of Education's schedule. Most departments use the same classification rates under the core agreement, but your own agency's pay schedule or payslip is the final word.
