Australia Sets Landmark Minimum Wage for Delivery Gig Workers

Australia's Fair Work Commission (FWC) has set a minimum wage of $31.30-$32 per hour for delivery gig workers, effective August 17, 2026. The decision, jointly applied by TWU, DoorDash, and UberEats, includes insurance and dispute resolution. This world-leading policy shift challenges the low-pay model and could set a global precedent.
