Pay rates and salaries
Minimum pay rates
Each industry has a minimum pay rate. You can find the right pay for your job by looking at the industry award (agreed pay and conditions) for your workplace.
- Fair Work pay guides list minimum pay rates for employees in an award.
- The National Minimum Wage applies when there’s no award for your industry.
- Certain information should be on your payslip.
Superannuation
Superannuation (or 'super') is money deducted from your salary and invested into a fund by your employer for when you retire or can no longer work.
From 1 July 2022, you’re entitled to super contributions (regardless of how much you earn) if you meet all the eligibility requirements.
Generally, you’re entitled to super guarantee contributions from an employer if you’re:
- 18 years old or over
- work more than 30 hours per week.
Check your payslips to make sure that your employer is paying the right amount of super.
In most cases, you can choose your super fund.
For more information on superannuation, check out:
- Super (Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
- Super Fund Lookup (funds regulated by ATO)
- How super works (Australian Securities and Investments Commission)
