Stay up to date with workplace law changes
It’s important to stay up to date with changes to workplace laws. Knowing which pay rates and entitlements apply to you or your employees is one of the easiest ways to prevent problems from happening.
Minimum pay rates are reviewed and usually change once a year. The Fair Work Commission can vary awards at any time. We can let you know when these changes happen.

Minimum wage changes
Each year, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) reviews the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and minimum pay rates under awards. This is known as the Annual Wage Review.
It can result in the FWC increasing the NMW and minimum pay rates under awards.
Most changes begin on the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July. You can use our Pay and Conditions Tool to check your entitlements.
We can also email you when major changes occur. Stay up to date with wage changes by subscribing to email updates.
