On 01 June 2019, NSW Skill Incentive Pay (SkIP) replaced Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay (HDIP) for parachute, dive, and demolition​ pays. The implementation of SkIP mitigates training and operational impacts through fewer requalification interruptions while ensuring operators maintain the appropriate levels of currency and proficiency. The transition from HDIP to SkIP is zero sum, with no changes to pay rates. SkIP is listed as "SAVE PAY" on qualified service members LES. 

• ​If a service member's SkIP needs to be started, stopped, or modified please use this Authorization Memo Example for guidance.
