New Pay Rates Are Now Available – Is Your Business Ready for 1 July?

From 1 July 2026, Australia's National Minimum Wage and minimum award rates will increase by 4.75%.

For many businesses, updating hourly rates is only part of the story.

This year's workplace changes also include:
✅ Changes to Children's Services Award pay rates
✅ Changes to Pharmacy Award pay rates
✅ Preparation for the new Payday Super requirements
✅ Increased Government Paid Parental Leave
✅ Changes to unpaid flexible parental leave
✅ New high-income thresholds and compensation caps

For employers, these changes aren't just about compliance—they're about protecting your business from costly underpayments, payroll errors, and the serious consequences of wage theft legislation.

Now is the time to:
✔ Review employee classifications
✔ Update payroll systems
✔ Check award rates and allowances
✔ Ensure employment contracts remain compliant
✔ Prepare for the changes taking effect from your first full pay period on or after 1 July

At Active HR, we help businesses navigate these changes with practical advice and tailored HR support, so you can stay focused on running your business with confidence.

📞 If you're unsure whether your payroll, classifications or employment arrangements are compliant, we're here to help.

Compliance isn't just about avoiding penalties, it's about protecting your people and your business.

🏀 "In the moment, man. Get in the moment and stay there." – Michael Jordan

As a basketballer I came to appreciate the importance of FLOW. The moment of absorption in the task that engagement, motivation and chance of success are at its highest.

I’ve learnt to carry that through to how I lead. Its what separates good leaders from great leaders? The leader’s ability to help people find FLOW.

Not the kind that happens around the water cooler.

I'm talking about that powerful state where someone becomes completely absorbed in what they're doing. Time disappears. Motivation rises. Focus sharpens. Performance improves.
Even when the task itself might be repetitive, challenging, or something others would describe as "boring."

The science of FLOW is one of the fascinating topics we explore in our Stepping Up – Frontline Leadership Workshop on 13 July.

Leaders who understand how to create the conditions for FLOW can:
✅ Increase engagement
✅ Improve productivity
✅ Build confidence and capability
✅ Reduce frustration and disengagement
✅ Help people perform at their best

And that's just one of the six practical leadership topics covered in this evidence-based program designed to help new and emerging leaders succeed. The workshop also covers emotional intelligence, motivating teams, difficult conversations, psychological safety, resilience, and leading with empathy and care.

Many businesses know they need HR support, but not all need (or can justify) a full-time HR Manager.

That's where our Embedded HR Partner model makes a difference.

For the past three years, Shan has worked alongside business owners and leadership teams as an extension of their organisation, providing practical, hands-on People & Culture support where it matters most: on the ground, with your people.

From leadership coaching, supporting performance management to recruitment, culture development, employee engagement, and navigating complex workplace challenges, Shan partners directly with organisations to build high-performing workplaces.

What makes this model unique is that Shan and our other embedded partners are backed by the broader Active HR team. This means clients don't just get access to one HR professional, they gain the support of specialists in:

✅ Employee Relations
✅ Work Health & Safety
✅ Leadership & Organisational Development
✅ Workplace Investigations
✅ Performance & Culture Improvement
✅ Employee Surveys
✅ Team Recruitment and Onboarding Solutions
✅ HR Information System Setup & Support
✅ HR Compliance & Strategy

The result? Practical, tailored solutions that align with your business goals, workforce needs, and budget, couple with an improved employee experience and organisational stability.

Whether you need support for half a day, one day, or two days per week, our Embedded HR Partner service provides flexible access to experienced People & Culture expertise without the cost of a full-time internal resource.

Because great businesses are built on great people and great cultures.

If you're looking to strengthen your leadership capability, improve workplace culture, or build a more engaged and productive workforce, we'd love to have a conversation.

🤔 How Are Happiness and Leadership Connected?

Many people believe leadership is about directing work, solving problems, and achieving results.

But what if one of the most powerful leadership skills is creating an environment where people can thrive?

Research consistently shows that leaders have a significant impact on employee wellbeing, engagement, motivation, and performance. In fact, the emotional tone of a workplace is often set by its leaders.

In our upcoming Stepping Up: Frontline Leadership Workshop, participants explore the science of wellbeing through the PERMA Model, developed by Dr Martin Seligman.

🌟 P – Positive Emotions
🌟 E – Engagement
🌟 R – Relationships
🌟 M – Meaning
🌟 A – Accomplishment

Frontline leaders discover practical ways to:

✅ Build stronger team relationships
✅ Improve employee engagement
✅ Create a positive workplace culture
✅ Foster resilience and wellbeing
✅ Enhance team performance and retention

Because great leadership isn't just about getting work done.

It's about creating the conditions for people to do their best work.

Great on the tools doesn't mean ready to lead the crew.

The hardest part of stepping up into a leadership role for the first time isn't the work, it's the conversations. Avoid the hard one today and you'll be managing the consequence tomorrow.

Stepping Up teaches new leaders to communicate with clarity, give feedback that lands, and hold the line with fairness and respect, before small issues become big ones.

📢 Are you ready for the 1 July 2026 wage changes?
From 1 July 2026, employers face a 4.75% increase to minimum wage and award rates, plus higher super contributions. For businesses already under margin pressure, this is more than a payroll update — it's a real cost and workforce planning challenge.

Here's what's at stake:
💰 Rising wage and super costs
📊 Wage compression that shrinks pay differentials — making it harder to retain skilled staff
⚠️ Serious compliance risk, now that wage theft is a criminal offence

Getting it wrong is no longer just expensive, it's a legal liability.

That's where we come in. We help businesses:
✅ Navigate the changes with confidence
✅ Check and strengthen compliance
✅ Make practical workforce decisions: from restructuring and retention to downsizing strategies where needed

Don't wait until July to find out where you stand.

Ne proactive and plan ahead. 👇

We’re excited to introduce our newest team member to Active HR, Rafiki 🐶

Rafiki recently joined the office as our Trainee HR Hound and, after a strong start during probation, he’s officially secured ongoing employment.

At first, he arrived full of energy, enthusiasm, and an obvious passion for workplace culture. Since receiving confirmation of his role, however, there have been some concerns about his performance… namely being caught sleeping on the job more than once.

That said, he continues to excel in key areas including:
🌟 boosting team morale.
🌟 greeting visitors with enthusiasm.
🌟 and looking adorable in meetings.

We’re considering whether a Performance Improvement Plan is necessary… or whether extra pats and snacks might be the more appropriate management strategy. Open to suggestions from our followers

Safe to say Rafiki has already become a very popular addition to the team although he does keep Brydi on her toes retrieving chew items from her office. 🐾

Rafiki works part time and is sometimes accompanying Shan to client sites to extend the pooch affection however if you choose to come by the office one day you may get to meet the one who stole "employee of the month" for May.
