Get ready for the Annual Wage Review
The Fair Work Commission is currently reviewing the National Minimum Wage and minimum award wages to decide if they should be increased.
This is known as the Annual Wage Review. Any changes to minimum wages will generally come into effect on 1 July.
Once the Commission has made their decision, they will work on updating the information, pay tools and resources on their website. This includes updates to the Fair Work Information Statement to include the new national minimum wage from 1 July.
