Annual Wage Review 2025
(C2025/1)
| JUSTICE HATCHER, PRESIDENT | SYDNEY, 16 APRIL 2025 |
Annual Wage Review 2025 – timetable and the 2025 federal election.
On 28 March 2025, a federal election was announced for 3 May 2025.[1]
The timetable for the Annual Wage Review 2025 was set on 13 December 2024.[2] Following the lodgment of initial submissions, parties have an opportunity to lodge reply submissions (by 2 May 2025), supplementary submissions (by 16 May 2025) and attend the public consultation on 21 May 2025.
Based on the published timetable, if a newly‑formed government were to submit a primary submission to this year’s annual wage review, it would have an opportunity to do so on or before 16 May 2025. This would afford parties a right to reply to matters raised in the primary submissions at the public consultation on 21 May 2025.
If a primary submission cannot be lodged by that date due to special circumstances, the newly‑formed government will be required to seek leave to file a submission after that date.
