*Breaking News* - National Award Wage Increase 5.2%

The Fair Work Commission has today handed down the 2022 minimum wage review increasing the national minimum wage, and all award wages under $869.60 per week by a whopping 5.2%. Award wages in excess of $869.60 per week will be increased by 4.6%.

THIS MEANS:
📌 The national minimum wage will increase from $20.33 to $21.38 per hour ($812.60 per week)

📌 An increase of $40 per week to the weekly rate ($1.05 per hour)

📌 These increases will be accompanied by the 1 July 2022 increase in superannuation contributions, to 10.5%.

Exceptional circumstances mean there will be a delay until 1 October 2022 for some awards in the aviation, tourism and hospitality sectors.

All other modern awards will have to include the increase from July 1 2022.

Be prepared to update your payroll!

❤️ AYDEN'S STORY - PART ONE ❤️
Beverley has very kindly shared Ayden's story - his symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and how our little hero is doing now.

Here is part 1 ⬇️ and stay tuned for an update each day for the next few days. I'd love for you all to leave a comment of support for our gorgeous Addy - it'll be sure to bring him a smile.

// AYDEN'S STORY - PART ONE //

Ayden has always been a super active kid and we are a sports driven, active family. Since the day he could walk and talk, we knew that he was put on this earth to achieve something great. Everyone that meets him, warms to him instantly – not sure if it’s the super long dark eyelashes, blond ringlet curls, his big bright smile, his happy demeaner or a combination of all of the above but he has touched many people so far, in the very short 7 years of his life.

In the early hours of 25th May 2021, his life changed quite drastically.

After presenting to the Robina Hospital at 7pm with swollen glands, bruises on his legs that kept multiplying and a strange ‘rash’ on his torso, it was the last thing we were expecting. Ayden had been recovering from a simple cold and had been on antibiotics for about 1 week due to having swollen glands – an infection! We wish that’s all it was. Ayden didn’t understand why we were there because he wasn’t feeling sick.

When the nurse comes in to review your case then leaves saying he will be back soon, then not 10 minutes later comes back in with a doctor while you are in the ER, you kind of know that they are concerned. Some bloods were taken, and I was told they were going to rush the results but just to hang tight. Then when the entourage arrived back in the room I knew it wasn’t great news. A nurse stayed with Ayden, and I was taken to a quiet room with the doc and the nurse that looked after us when we arrived.

The doc told me that he has been on the phone with the children’s hospital in Brisbane and an ambulance was being sent down from Brisbane to pick us up. The consensus was that they suspected Ayden has Leukemia.

It’s a parents’ worst nightmare come true – our 7 year old son has blood cancer.

I dreaded the phone call to tell my husband what I just heard. He was home with 8 year old Charlotte. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

I quickly went into logistics mode and told him what I needed him to bring up to the hospital as they were sending us up to Brisbane.

The minimum wage increase starts today!

A reminder that the national minimum wage has increased today to $20.33 per hour (up from $19.84) or $772.60 per week (up from $753.80).

Casual employees that the national minimum wage applies to must receive a minimum $25.41 per hour including their 25 per cent casual loading.

On 16 June 2021, the Fair Work Commission announced a 2.5 per cent increase to the national minimum wage, following its Annual Wage Review. This increase applies from the first full pay period starting on or after today.

Employees covered by awards will also have base rates increased by 2.5 per cent, however, these increases to award wages begin on different dates for different groups of awards.

Most award wages will increase from 1 July 2021, with the following exceptions:

- wages in the Retail Award will increase from 1 September 2021;
- wages in 21 other awards where the Fair Work Commission deemed there were exceptional circumstances will increase from 1 November 2021. A list of these awards can be found at:

To my beautiful business community,

For those of you who don’t know, just over a week ago my families world was turned upside down when we found out that our 7 year old son, Ayden, has Leukaemia.

It seriously rocked us as he was his normal, energetic, happy self having played a game of AFL and participated in all normal ‘kid’ stuff just two days before being diagnosed.

One of is closest mates, Will, has chosen to participate in the 2km run and raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. Will is just 8 years old and we are super proud that he has chosen to do this.

We are so very grateful for the support that the Leukaemia foundation has provided over the past week and will continue to do so through our 2+ year journey to get Ayden back to his ‘normal’ life. They have gifted us a two bedroom apartment close to the hospital so we can be close by for his intense period of treatment which will likely be around 6 months.

We would not have this opportunity to not be worried about where we would live during this time if it was not for the Leukaemia Foundation and all of the wonderful people that have donated in the past.

We would be forever grateful if you would support us by supporting Will in his quest to raise money to help out his mate. 🙏

Hi there I am going to run 2km at the Gold Coast Marathon on the 3rd July 2021. My good friend Ayden has just been diagnosed with Leukaemia and I won't be able to see him for a long time. I am trying to fundraise $100 to help The Leukaemia Foundation as they are really helping him and his family. An...
