Is your practice ready for pay increases from 1 July 2026?

June 16, 2026
@ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Online via Zoom

The 1 July changes bring critical updates to minimum wages and modern award rates, and it’s essential that practices understand what these mean in real terms for payroll, contracts and staff communication.

In this practical and easy-to-follow session, we will unpack the Fair Work Commission’s Annual Wage Review, and the flow-on effects for award-covered employees.

George Sotiris & Vanessa James-McPhee will guide you through how to determine whether your team needs a pay increase, how to manage above-award and annualised salary arrangements, and what compliance steps you should be taking now. We will also explore classification reviews, pay point progression, and Better Off Overall Test (BOOT) considerations.

You’ll walk away with clear, actionable steps, communication tips for your team, and the tools needed to ensure your practice is compliant, confident and prepared for the new financial year.

✅ Ideal for: Practice managers, Practice owners and payroll/HR staff HR in Health Members will receive a copy of the new HPSS & Nurses Rates of Pay Guides developed by HR in Health after the event.

*Please note that this date may change depending on when the FWC announce the wage rates.

The recording will be provided to attendees that register for the event.
