In relation to its wage-setting function, the Australian Fair Pay Commission:
- adjusts the standard Federal Minimum Wage;
- adjusts special Federal Minimum Wages for employees with a disability;
- adjusts basic periodic rates of pay and basic piece rates of pay payable to employees of particular classifications, including junior employees and employees to whom training arrangements apply; and
- adjusts casual loadings in Pay Scales.
The Commission conducts annual wage reviews and announces its decisions in July, with an implementation date in October.
Other decisions related to specific industries or groups such as workers with a disability are made as required.
Details of specific decisions by type and year can be viewed via the links on the left-hand navigation bar.
