The Fair Work Commission has announced a 3% wage increase effective as of the first pay period from the 1st July. The 3% increase will increase the minimum wage to $740.80 per week or $19.49 per hour.
The 3% increase will apply to:
- Employees that get their rates from the national minimum wage

Where Individual Flexibility Agreements (IFA) are being used, rates used in calculations should be revisited to ensure that they meet the new minimum rates.
