Minimum Wages Increase from 1 July 2026

Date: 23 June 2026

Australia’s latest Annual Wage Review has delivered an increase to minimum wages, with changes taking effect from the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2026. The National Minimum Wage has risen to $26.44 per hour (or $1,004.90 per week), alongside a 4.75% increase to minimum award wages.

These updates may impact payroll costs, award classifications, and employment agreements—so it’s important for businesses to review wages and ensure compliance with the new rates.
