Award summaries

We have individual summaries of who each award covers and doesn’t cover. These are called an ‘award summary’.

What’s an award summary

An award summary explains:

  • who is covered by a particular award
  • who isn’t covered by a particular award
  • ways to calculate award pay rates and check entitlements.

An award summary doesn’t replace an award. It provides an overview of the coverage terms (rules) in the award.
