The Fair Work Commission has announced this year’s Annual Wage Review decision.

The National Minimum Wage will increase to $1,004.90 per week or $26.44 per hour.

Minimum award wages will increase by 4.75%, provided that:
-the lowest rate in any award that applies to ongoing employment must be at least $1,004.90 per week or $26.44 per hour
- any entry-level rate that applies to the first 6 months (or less) of employment must be at least $978.10 per week or $25.74 per hour.

These increases apply from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July 2026.

The 2026 Tax Time Bundle is open for orders, and this is the last call.

It's the same set hundreds of accountants have used since 2018 to get through compliance season more smoothly. Client information sheets, email scripts, ITR questionnaires, workpapers, a CGT cost base tracker, branded tax return covers and logbooks, all built from years of running a practice.

Everything comes branded with your logo before it's sent to you, ready to go straight out to clients.

Orders close 3 July. After that, this year's bundle won't be available.

This morning, our CEO John Cleary presented at the Business Singleton Breakfast, sharing why Mai-Wel is so deeply embedded in the Singleton community 🌟

John spoke about the importance of providing genuine pathways between school and employment, using a wonderful example of a Mai-Wel Academy participant who progressed from our Academy program into Mini Woolies and is now building real workplace experience through that opportunity.

It was a great chance to connect with the Singleton business community and share more about the work we do across the region 💛
