Financial Year Pay Period Schedule July – December 2024

As you directly employ your own chosen Support Workers, we have some important information to share with you, as recently announced by various regulatory bodies.

• The Fair Work Commission has announced a 3.75% increase to the minimum wage and minimum award wages.
• The Fair Work Ombudsman has published a 4% increase to base wages under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services (SCHADS) Award, effective from the first full pay period starting on, or after 1 July 2024.
• As per the Australian Taxation Office schedule, the Superannuation Guarantee Charge will increase from 11% to 11.5%, effective from the first pay run on or after 1 July 2024.

What does this mean for you, our Partner?

Here’s how:
