Minimum Wage Increase - 1 July 2017

The changes to the National Wage minimum are now in effect.

As previously advised, from 1 July 2017 the national minimum adult wage increased by 3.3% to $694.90 per week or $18.29 per hour. 

Increases to rates of pay, allowances, penalties and loadings, as a result of the Annual Wage Review, are payable from the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2017.

All Modern Awards have now had their minimum rates updated to reflect these changes and can be found at www.fairwork.gov.au

Understanding and implementing the new rates can be confusing so please contact the team at Your HRmanager for advice and assistance.
