Annual Award Increases
June 23, 2020
Minimum wages increased 1.75%, but not everyone on 1 July
The Fair Work Commission has conducted its annual review and announced a 1.75% increase to minimum wages, however not all employees will receive the new ammount from 1 July.
Generally wage increases take effect from 1 July each year, however due to the impact of COVID-19, the Fair Work Commission has staggered the starting dates for increased wages this year.
Group 1 will see a wage increase as at 1 July 2020. These include workers covered by an award that has been the least affected by the pandemic such as the Aged Care, Nurses and Children’s Services Awards.
Group 2’s wage increase will commence from 1 November 2020, which include workers from the building and construction industries.
Group 3 includes workers covered by an award who have been significantly affected by the pandemic. These include the hair and beauty, restaurant and hospitality awards. The wage increase for Group 3 will apply from 1 February 2021.
You can see the full list of awards and start dates on the Fair Work Website.
