National Wage Case

The Fair Work Commission handed down its decision in the National Wage Case earlier today declaring a % increase in the Award rates of pay.

This is substantially less than the increase of 6% sought by the union movement. In handing down its decision the Commission noted…..

The increases to the award rates of pay are effective from the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 July, 2026. If you are paying above the award rate of pay the increase can be absorbed against the above award amount provided the rate you pay is still equal to or more than the new award rate.

We will be putting the new wages schedules on the Members Only section of the website shortly. Many allowances were also increased and these will be shown on the schedules.
