From 1st July ,Aged Care worker 15% pay increase

According to Budget 2023–⁠24: Delivering the largest ever pay rise to aged care workers across Australia.

The Government recognizes the complex and previously undervalued work of the aged care workforce which is why the government are investing $11.3 billion to fund the Fair Work Commission’s interim decision for a 15% pay increase.

This is the largest ever pay increase for aged care workers. It signifies real progress towards genuinely valuing their dedication and skill and will help aged care providers attract and retain staff.

This is a key part of our plan to create more opportunities for more Australians by investing in health and aged care.

Registered nurses, enrolled nurses, assistants in nursing, personal care workers, head chefs and cooks, recreational activities officers (lifestyle workers) and home care workers will see a an historic increase to their award wages.

WeCare Wellness will increase our aged care workers wage according to government’s rate .
