Get set for a 3.0% wage increase - 2019 Annual Wage Review
The 3.0% increase applies to employees that get their pay rates from:
the national minimum wage
a modern award.
The national minimum wage applies to employees who aren’t covered by an award or agreement.
For employees covered by an award, award rates will increase by 3.0%. If you’re not sure which award applies, use Find my award.
If you’re covered by a registered agreement, you should check it to see whether this increase affects you.
The increase doesn’t affect employees who already get paid more than the new minimum wage.
