The final pay increase in the 2023 Local Government State Award will be paid in the first pay period after 1 July - 3%, plus $1000 lump sum or 0.5% of your annual salary system rate of pay as at 30 June 2025, whichever is the greater.

Negotiations for the 2026 Award, which will operate from the first pay period after one July 2026, will start later in the year and this is an invitation to think about anything that happened to you in work that could have been dealt with better - things that might have happened during that time where you could have used an Award for protection if they’d provided certain protections, things that did happen that disadvantaged you and shouldn’t have happened, where you needed better protections. Is someone getting in the way of you being able to take two days sick leave as health and wellbeing leave, because they lack imagination and are too rigid-minded?

Let us know, emails to by COB Friday 18 July, to give us time to put our Log of Claims together.
