Big change for Australia’s gig economy. 💵

From today, 17 August 2026, food and grocery delivery workers covered by the new Fair Work Commission standards will have a minimum pay floor of around $31.30–$32 per hour during “engaged time”, the period from accepting a delivery through to completing it.

That’s a significant shift for workers who have historically faced unpredictable earnings and limited workplace protections.

The new standards also include:
✅ Minimum earnings protections
✅ Personal accident insurance
✅ New dispute resolution processes
✅ Greater representation rights
✅ Further pay increases planned for 2027

And importantly, this isn’t simply about paying more. It’s about recognising that gig workers deserve a safety net too.

Australia’s National Minimum Wage is currently $26.44 an hour, making the new delivery-worker rate substantially higher. (Fair Work Ombudsman⁠)

But there’s an important catch: the minimum applies to engaged time, not necessarily every minute a driver is logged into an app waiting for an order.

So… is this the beginning of a fairer gig economy, or does it still leave too many gaps?
