On Monday 3 June 2024, the Fair Work Commission announced this year's increases to the National Minimum Wage and minimum award wages.

The increases are the result of the Annual Wage Review.

• The National Minimum Wage will increase by 3.75 per cent to $915.90 per week ($24.10 per hour), based on a 38-hour week
• Minimum wage rates in Modern Awards will also increase by 3.75 per cent

The increases apply from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July 2024.

They affect the Plumbing and Fire Sprinklers Award 2020, Clerks - Private Sector Award 2020, Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020, and General Retail Industry Award 2020.

We will provide links to updated pay guides when they are available.
