As explained in a previous article minimum wages and modern award minimum rates are changing from after 30 June. The increase will apply from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July 2026.
The new pay rates are available now by:
- Downloading an updated pay guide which has minimum pay rates for full-time, part-time and casual employees in an award.
- Using the Pay and Conditions Tool which has a Pay Calculator that calculates minimum pay rates, allowances and penalty rates (including overtime) for modern awards.
Remember that other website information and resources may not yet be updated, and you are recommended to use the above methods.
