flag The ACT government offered public workers a 9% pay rise over three years, delaying superannuation changes and facing union pushback over inflation and AI job fears.

flag The ACT government has offered public sector workers a 9% pay rise over three years, with 3% annual increases, after unions rejected a prior proposal. flag The new deal delays a superannuation increase to July 1, 2028, and keeps existing benefits like extended parental leave. flag Officials say the offer balances fair pay with budget constraints, citing inflation of 3.25% in 2025–26 and up to 2.75% in 2026–27. flag Unions previously opposed the earlier offer, arguing it fell below inflation—3.8% in January 2026—and demanded stronger job protections amid AI concerns. flag Talks continue as enterprise agreements expire March 31, 2026.
