|---|---|
| Saturday | $43 to $55 an hour |
| Sunday | $57 to $73 an hour |
| Public holiday | $72 to $91 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on the ordinary rate (about $36 to $46 an hour on weekdays), with casual weekend and public holiday rates of 1.75x, 2.25x and 2.75x the ordinary rate. Figures are full-time and part-time minimums for employees; independent contractors set their own rates.
How that compares, as of 1 July 2026
$28.86–$36.23
an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, home care employee, Level 2 to 3, full-time (Fair Work pay guide)
$73.58
an hour · NDIS price limit for standard weekday self-care support: the most a provider can bill a participant's plan for that hour, which funds wages, on-costs and overheads. A service price cap, not a worker wage (Pricing Schedule 2026–27)
