Increase to Australia's Minimum Wages Announced by The Fair Work Commission

Question

Good afternoon everyone!
&nbsp;
The Fair Work Commission has announced that national minimum wage and awards will increase by 3.75%. This means we'll see national minimum wages increase by 89c to $24.10 an hour or $915.90 a week, based on a 38 hour work week. These changes will take place from the 1st of July 2024.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
To find more information about how this will apply to you and your business, please refer to this&nbsp;page.&nbsp;

Cheers, Amanda.&nbsp;

I just found this on the ATO's Fair Work Ombudsman site

From 1 July 2024, the National Minimum Wage will increase by 3.75%.

The new National Minimum Wage will be $915.90 per week or $24.10 per hour.

I realize it's only cents, but in this day and age every cent counts
