The Health Professionals and Support Services Award is undergoing its most significant change in years.

With the 2026 Annual Wage Review taking effect from the 1st of July and a completely new classification structure commencing from the 1st of October 2026, many employers are wondering where to start.

The Fair Work Commission has now released its final determination, confirming the new classification framework, qualification requirements, transition arrangements and implementation timeline.

In this practical employer-focused webinar, our director Carli Saw will walk through what these changes mean in practice and the steps health employers should be taking now to prepare.

You will learn:
• How the 2026 Annual Wage Review impacts health employers from 1 July
• How the 4.75% wage increase interacts with the upcoming Award changes
• What the new AQF-based classification structure means for your workforce
• How existing employees will transition to the new framework
• Qualification, experience and progression requirements
• Common classification mistakes and compliance risks
• What employers should be reviewing now
• How to prepare for benchmarking, classification reviews and payroll changes
• Practical action steps to take between July and October

We'll also answer the questions employers are asking, including whether employees need to be reviewed if they are paid above Award rates, how to verify qualifications, how multiple qualifications are treated, and how much time businesses really have to prepare.

Designed for business owners, practice managers and HR professionals who want practical guidance and a clear action plan for navigating these changes.

Join us live on the 18th of June 2026 at 1:00pm AEST, or register now to receive the recording.

In this practical one-hour webinar, our director Carli Saw will break down the key changes and answer the questions employers ask every year.

You will learn:
• What the 2026 minimum wage and Award increases are
• When the increases apply and how to calculate the correct effective date
• Whether you need to increase wages if you already pay above Award rates
• Why Award classifications matter and how to check them
• What employers should be doing now to prepare for Payday Super and other upcoming reforms
• Practical steps to remain compliant before the 1st of July 2026

We'll also cover common questions around salaries, employment contracts, classifications, and managing wage increases in a practical business setting.

Designed for busy business owners, managers and employers who want clear, straightforward advice on what these changes mean in practice.

Join us live on the 17th of June 2026 at 7:30pm AEST, or register now to receive the recording.

📢 The decision is in.

The Fair Work Commission has confirmed a 4.75% increase to the National Minimum Wage and Modern Award minimum rates from the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2026.

While many employers are focused on the size of the increase, one of the biggest mistakes we see each year is assuming that paying above Award means nothing needs to be reviewed.

In reality, this may be the perfect time to check:
✔ Award classifications
✔ Salaries and annualised wage arrangements
✔ Payroll settings
✔ Superannuation obligations
✔ Upcoming workplace law changes

We'll be unpacking the decision, explaining why the increase was higher than many expected, and answering the practical questions employers are asking right now.
