The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing will be processing indexation in September 2026, with payments expected prior to the end of September and backdated to 1 July 2026.

The indexation rate for community services funded by the Victorian government (CSO rate) is based on Fair Work minimum wage obligations (80%) and Consumer Price Index provided in the State Budget Papers (20%).

The CSO indexation rate for 2026-27 is 4.5%. 

Indexation for organisations funded by Department of Health and Department of Education, but not covered under the CSO indexation rate, will also be applied during September 2026.
