Text Content


Every year, the Fair Work Commission's Expert Panel reviews the minimum wages received by employees in the national workplace relations system. The review considers:

  • written submissions from interested organisations and individuals
  • consultations before the Expert Panel
  • research commissioned by the Expert Panel. At the conclusion of this review, the Fair Work Commission issues their Annual Wage Review Decision, which includes a National Minimum Wage Order. Any required changes to employees' pay apply from the first full pay period on or after 1 July each year.
