Wage increase in award rates for the Wine Industry Award 2010

2021 CHANGES TO
​CASUAL EMPLOYMENT​

Current as at 29 January 2021

Current as at 18  April 2021

The FWC has decided to increase the National Minimum Wage by 1.75%.  

Although the increase came into operation on 1 July 2020, due to industries being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to differing extents, FWC has determined that this increase will flow onto Modern Awards in groups on three different operative dates.  

Based on the South Australian Wine Industry Association's (SAWIA) submission, the FWC made the decision not to commence the national wage increase for the Wine industry Award 2010 until 1 February 2021. See the Wage Rate Sheet below for more information. 

A number of significant changes have been made to casual employment due to the Fair Work Amendment (Supporting Australia’s Jobs and Economic Recovery) Bill 2020 (the Bill) being passed by the Federal Parliament. 

​These changes came into effect on 27 March 2021 and apply to the Fair Work Act 2009 ​.
