The formula for indexation 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 2025-26 is 3.35%.
The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing will be processing indexation in September, with payments expected prior to the end of September and backdated to 1 July 2025.
Indexation rates 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.
