We met with Regis management last week to continue bargaining for your new Agreement. We
pushed hard with the wages claim and told Regis that they need to match the wage deal that
residential care workers received in their Agreement recently, and you would not be accepting of
anything less.
Regis have advised they will be meeting with you all to discuss the total package, and our advice
is not to accept unless the wage offer matches the residential offer. You are not worth less than
your residential colleagues and it is disrespectful that management don’t agree.
Regis won’t pay backpay for the years you did not get a negotiated wage increase but will
instead make a one-off lump sum payment. The lump sum payment is:
| Full-time |
$3,000 |
| Above 0.75 but less than FT |
$2,750 |
| Above 0.5 to 0.75 |
$2,500 |
| 0.25 - 0.5 |
$2,000 |
| Less than 0.25 |
$1,750 |
Here's a reminder of what’s been achieved so far:
• 3% wage increase 2024 & 2025
• Public holiday increased to double time and a half
• Sunday increased to double time
• Travel allowance 96c per kilometre
• 20 days paid family and domestic violence leave
• Sleepover allowance increased to $110
