We've done our annual review of our payment rate for minimum rate of weekly compensation payable. We’ve made some changes that are coming soon.

Full-time workers with low earnings, and clients entitled to loss of potential earnings will receive a change to their payments from 1 April.

Changes to other client payment rates, grants, and allowances will occur on 1 July.

What this means for clients

The new gross minimum rate of weekly compensation payable to a full-time earner will be $752.00 (equal to 80% of the adult minimum wage of $940.00 for a forty-hour week).
