Award rates change with every annual wage review (first full pay period on or after 1 July), and coverage questions turn on the award’s own classification definitions. The award text and the Fair Work Ombudsman’s pay tools are the authoritative sources. Or let MyGig apply it for you: every shift estimate uses current rates, penalties included, clause cited.
General information only, not legal advice. Rates come from MyGig’s award engine (the same data that prices every MyGig shift), built from Fair Work Commission pay guides; always confirm against the award and the official pay guide before relying on them.
