Employers covered by the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award (SCHADS Award) are navigating a period of significant change.

This practical 30-minute webinar will provide an overview of recent and proposed SCHADS Award reforms, helping employers understand the implications for their workforce and workplace practices.

Key topics include:

  • changes affecting sleepover shifts and shift penalty rates
  • the National Minimum Wage increase effective from 1 July 2026
  • the proposed 15% wage increase for Home Care Disability employees from 1 October 2026, subject to Fair Work Commission approval
  • proposed changes to the SCHADS classification and pay structure. 

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your obligations and practical steps you can take now to prepare your organisation for the changes ahead.
