The Fair Work Act 2009 requires the Fair Work Commission's Expert Panel for annual wage reviews to conduct and complete a review of minimum wages in modern awards and the national minimum wage in each financial year. This review directly affects over 1.5 million employees in Australia who are reliant upon these minimum wages.
On 4 June 2014, the Panel delivered a 3% increase to all modern award rates, to take effect from 1 July 2014.
