Description

In Australia, workers with disability can receive payments below the national minimum wage under the Supported Wage System. This brief recommends the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations and the Minister for Disability ask the Fair Work Commission to introduce a phase-out of the Supported Wage System and productivity-based wage calculations by 2034 to lift minimum wages for employees with disability to 100% of the national minimum wage.
