On 2 June 2015 the Fair Work Commission (FWC) awarded a 2.5 per cent increase to all modern Award wages and lifted the national minimum wage to $656.90 or $17.29 per hour. The increase will take effect from the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2015.
Updated Wage Bulletins will be made available once the Awards have been formally varied by FWC to give effect to the decision.
