💰 Fair Work Wage Increase Confirmed
The Fair Work Commission has announced that Modern Award minimum wages will increase by 4.75%, with the National Minimum Wage increasing to $26.44 per hour.
The new rates take effect from the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2026.
For employers, now is a great time to review workforce costs, budgets and staffing plans for the year ahead.
For employees, keep an eye out for updated pay rates from your employer if you're covered by a Modern Award.
At CG Recruitment, we're already working through the changes to ensure our clients and employees remain fully compliant ahead of implementation.
Have questions about how the increase may affect your workforce? Our team is here to help.

What candidates want from employers has changed a lot over the past few years.

At CG Recruitment, we’re seeing more and more candidates looking beyond just pay rates when deciding where they want to work.

Things like:
✔ Clear communication
✔ Consistent shifts
✔ Efficient onboarding
✔ Respect on site
✔ Supportive leadership
✔ Organised workplaces
all play a huge role in attracting and keeping good workers.

Sometimes improving recruitment outcomes isn’t about advertising harder — it’s about improving the experience around the role itself.

The businesses focusing on this are usually the ones building stronger long-term teams 💚

Better workforce planning usually creates better recruitment outcomes.

When businesses can give visibility ahead of busy periods, shutdowns, leave coverage or workforce changes, it gives recruitment teams more time to properly source and onboard the right people.

At CG Recruitment, workforce planning is a big part of what we do every day. Understanding site requirements, operational pressures and candidate fit all play a role in getting the best possible outcome for our clients.

But when recruitment becomes rushed or reactive, finding the best fit naturally becomes harder.

More planning time means:
✔ Better candidate matches
✔ Smoother onboarding
✔ Less rushed recruitment
✔ Stronger retention
✔ Better workforce support on site

A little more notice can make a huge difference 💚

Why Partnerships Work Better
When there’s strong communication between clients and recruiters, things tend to run smoother.

It allows for:
• Better planning ahead of demand
• Faster adjustments when things change
• More consistent outcomes on site

It’s not just about filling a role — it’s about understanding what’s actually needed and working together to get it right.

⚠️ Manual Handling = One of the most common workplace injuries

Lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling — it’s all part of the job in many roles we place… but it’s also where injuries happen most.

The good news? Most of these injuries are preventable.

Quick safety tips to keep in mind on site:
👉 Stop and assess before you lift
👉 Don’t rush — technique matters
👉 Keep the load close to your body
👉 Use equipment when available
👉 If it feels too heavy — it probably is (ask for help!)

At CG, we’re big on safety — not just because it’s policy, but because it’s about looking after our people.

Let’s keep each other safe out there 💚
