This publication is a summary of the Municipal Employees (Western Australia) Award. The Award can be viewed on the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission’s website.
The yearly State Wage Case sets the minimum pay and award wages. Pay increases usually apply from the beginning of the first pay period that starts on or after 1 July each year.
All local government employers and employees are in the state industrial relations system.
Local government employers may have industrial (enterprise) agreements that provide pay and entitlements specific to their workforce. The Municipal Employees Award or parts of it, may not apply if employees are covered by an industrial agreement. Contact the Human Resources area of the local government for information on any relevant industrial agreement.
WA award summaries for previous years are provided as a resource for employers and employees. The previous versions contain out-of-date rates of pay.
