Australia sets $31.30 hourly minimum wage for gig delivery drivers
Australia's Fair Work Commission has issued a national order establishing a $31.30 per hour minimum wage and injury insurance for gig delivery drivers. The standards will take effect on August 17, 2026. This is a regulatory decision, not a current wage.
