Nearly 3 million workers to receive 4.75% pay increase, Fair Work Commission rules

2 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Nearly 3 million workers in Australia will benefit from a 4.75% pay rise following a recent ruling by the Fair Work Commission. Additionally, around 100,000 of the lowest-paid workers will receive a more substantial 6% increase.
This decision comes amid rising inflation, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The new minimum wage will increase from approximately $24.95 to $26.44 per hour.
The decision comes in the wake of increased inflation rates driven by external factors, including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Unions had initially called for a 6% increase to better support workers facing rising living costs.
The Fair Work Commission's decision reflects an attempt to balance the needs of workers against the backdrop of rising inflation and economic pressures. While the 4.75% increase may not fully meet the demands of unions, it represents a significant step towards improving the financial stability of millions of workers.
