FEDERAL

MINIMUM

WAGE

INCREASED

 

The Australian YCW made a submission to the Australian Fair Pay Commission advocating an increase to the federal minimum wage coupled with increased cost savings and services. We felt this would ensure young people live above the poverty line.

The Australian Fair Pay Commission recently announced an INCREASE to the standard Federal Minimum Wage (FMW) and all Australian Pay and Classification Scales (Pay Scales) by $21.66 per week. The standard FMW has increased from $13.74 to $14.31 per hour. The decision takes effect from the first pay period on or after 1 October 2008.
