National Employment Standards

The 2012 Annual Wage Review is now underway. We are expecting Fair Work Australia to announce it's decision in early June and any change to minimum wages will start from 1 July 2012.

Sign up to get updates about the annual wage review, how it affects you and how you can get ready for the new rates.

The National Employment Standards (NES) set out minimum conditions of employment. You can find details of how the standards apply in the fact sheets below.
