    Reminder: Changes to care sector awards from 1 January 2025

    Reminder: Changes to care sector awards from 1 January 2025

    This information has been shared from the Fair Work Ombudsman's newsletter.

    From 1 January 2025 changes apply to classifications and minimum pay rates for some aged care employees.

    What are the changes


    Minimum pay rates have increased for eligible employees working in the aged care sector. The increase an employee gets depends on the award that covers them and their classification.

    There have been other changes to coverage and classifications for aged care awards, including for:

    • ‘direct care’ employees covered by the Aged Care Award
    • nursing assistants working in the aged care sector
    • home care workers covered by the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Award.

    Find out more about these changes and access updated pay tools at Aged Care Work Value Case: Changes to awards.
