The federal government has promised to fund an increase in aged care workers’ wages, telling the Fair Work Commission pay rates in the sector should be “significantly higher” without nominating a figure.
Ministers Tony Burke, Mark Butler and Anika Wells said a pay rise was crucial for the future of the sector. “The Commonwealth will provide funding to support any increases to award wages made by the commission in this matter and that will help deliver a higher standard of care for older Australians.” Health Services Union national president Gerard Hayes said the promise to fund any increase was “the decent thing to do” on the government’s part.
The aged care royal commission recommended government, unions and employers work together on a case to boost pay and attract more staff to the sector.
