How we got here
ℹ️
These are minimum legal rates based on the relevant Modern Award. Your actual rate may be higher — some employers pay above Award. But going below these rates is illegal and you can report it to the Fair Work Ombudsman anonymously at fairwork.gov.au or call 13 13 94.
💰
Don't forget super. Your employer must also pay 11.5% of your wages into your super fund. This is on top of what you receive. When you leave Australia, claim it all back via DASP — free money most backpackers never collect. Read more about super →
