Thousands of staff who worked at the University of Melbourne between 2014 and 2024 will share in a $72 million payout as part of an Enforceable Undertaking . The university admitted to underpaying 25,576 current and former employees a total of $54.05 million including superannuation and interest, the Fair Work Ombudsman said on Monday.

“The University of Melbourne has acknowledged it has underpaid a range of entitlements owed under its Enterprise Agreements, including minimum wages, minimum engagement entitlements, casual sessional teaching and casual non-sessional activities rates, shift loadings and overtime entitlements,” Fair Work said. These underpayments were discovered during a remediation program which was launched by the university in 2020.
