What award covers casual delivery drivers in Newcastle?

Published casual rates under the Road Transport and Distribution Award start from $33.59/hr as at 1 July 2026, including the 25% casual loading. Penalties and allowances can apply on top depending on when and where the shift runs; the award page and the official Fair Work pay guide carry the detail.
Are the delivery drivers vetted?
Yes. Every worker is vetted on 30+ data points before they can accept a shift, including identity, right to work and references, and role requirements such as full c-class driver licence, clean driving record are verified and visible on the profile.
Does MyGig cover delivery driver staffing in Newcastle?
Yes. Newcastle is a newer part of our NSW operation, so the local delivery driver pool is still building. The app shows honest availability for your dates rather than a promise, and coverage grows as more vetted workers join.
What does hiring delivery drivers cost?
One flat 15% service fee on wages and on-costs, the same for every client and every delivery driver shift, with the full cost estimated before you book. There are no placement fees and no volume tiers: the rate is published and identical everywhere MyGig operates.
