TOP Government advisers are in line for pay increases of up to $11,700 despite Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's appeal for wage restraint.

A secret memo obtained by The Sunday Age reveals Special Minister of State John Faulkner wants a 5.6 per cent pay rise for all senior staff employed by members of Parliament.

The memo, written three days before Christmas, reveals Senator Faulkner has also been working on a longer-term strategy to boost pay and conditions for senior staff amid concern about burn-out and soaring rates of staff turnover.

Senator Faulkner says a ruling Mr Rudd made soon after he was elected in 2007 had effectively frozen pay rates for senior staff, with "no mechanism" for pay rises.

"I am considering approving a 5.6 per cent salary increase for senior staff who have not had an annual increase since 9 December, 2007," he says in the memo.

"I also wish to commence the process of developing a longer-term employment framework for senior staff, which will incorporate remuneration and other terms and conditions of employment."
