Changes to client payments from 1 April 2023
We've done our annual review of our payment rate for minimum rate of weekly compensation payable. We’ve made some changes that are coming soon.
Following legislation changes in October 2022, we now review the minimum rate of weekly compensation payable from 1 April of each year.
This means full-time workers with low earnings, and clients entitled to loss of potential earnings will receive a change to their payments from 1 April.
Changes to other client payment rates, grants, and allowances will occur on 1 July.
What this means for clients
For clients receiving the minimum rate of weekly compensation, based on the 2023 minimum wage rate increasing we have changed the minimum rate payable.
The new gross minimum rate of weekly compensation payable to a full-time earner will be $726.40 (equal to 80% of the adult minimum wage of $908.00 for a forty-hour week).
