Anglicare Sydney comments on FWC minimum wage decision

Anglicare Sydney < 1 mins read

Commenting on today's decision by the Fair Work Commission to increase the National Minimum Wage and all modern award minimum wage rates by 3.5 per cent, effective from 1 July 2025, Simon Miller, CEO of Anglicare Sydney said:

"Today's decision to increase the minimum wage at above inflation is a welcome development for Australians struggling with cost of living.  Our latest data indicates in Sydney alone, only 1.8% of rentals are affordable for people on the minimum wage. Whilst this is good news, we urge the government to go further and increase Job Seeker as well to at least $80 a day and increase Commonwealth rent assistance."
