Fair Work Commission to announce landmark 25% wage increase decision for aged care workers.

The Fair Work Commission is due to announce a landmark decision regarding a 25% wage increase for aged care workers. The Health Services Union lodged the application for the raise in 2020, and the Commission awarded an interim 15% increase for direct care employees in late 2022. Catholic Health Australia supports the full claim for all aged care workers, stating it would alleviate cost of living pressures and improve the sector's attractiveness amid a workforce shortage.
