I have a frd who told me that career@gov runs a 'robotic' system that filters first via "salary" code. So if we ask for more then the filter amount, eg. $6k for this particular statboard, than I will not even get my application to the HR even if I have a PHD. lol
I'm not sure how they will take into account the higher bonuses they pay in deriving the monthly salary to offer. But I think they also look at parity with officers of the same level of experience in the organisation. This should work in your advantage, since you have so many years of experience, and most of your peers in the civil service would already be earning at least $6k, unless they feel that your experience is not relevant. So, think of ways to explain how your experience and skills would help in your prospective job.

Another thing they would consider is how far your expected salary is to the salary ceilng of the grade. Normally, they would not place somebody too near the salary ceiling.
