The Traffic Management Association of Australia (TMAA) is calling out misleading information regarding traffic controller salaries circulating in recent media articles.

We strongly condemns this pattern of publishing misleading articles about traffic controller salaries. These provocative pieces deliberately fail to mention the challenging and hazardous work environment that traffic controllers face, nor do they acknowledge the several deaths that have occurred over the past few years.
