When it comes to pay deals, not all workers reap the same benefits. Here's how employees at these companies fared.
Some 136,000 workers have scored pay rises averaging 4.3 per cent, according to new data, while some will take home increases of more than 7 per cent. The figures come in new enterprise agreement data for the December quarter, published by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations on Thursday. There were 1,020 private and public sector agreements struck over the final quarter of 2023 that had quantifiable wage increases, with the average annual wage increase coming in at 4.
Of those quantifiable for the December quarter, workers covered by La Trobe University's enterprise agreement secured the highest average annual wage rise at 7.1 per cent. Curtin University's new agreement delivered an average increase of 6.5 per cent, while rises of 6.3 per cent came in deals at the University of New South Wales. The release of the December quarter data also provides a full picture of 2023.
