Notes
- •Covers registered and enrolled nurses, personal care assistants and lifestyle staff at Regis Aged Care's residential home in the Northern Territory (cl 4). Support services and home care roles are covered by the agreement but not shown here.
- •From the first full pay period on or after 1 August 2026, nurses' rates include the Government-funded aged care work-value increase that Regis passes on under cl 30(c). The agreement's own Appendix 1 table doesn't print it. Each nurse figure is the table rate plus the Department of Health's published amount for the matching Nurses Award classification, with the November 2026 and November 2027 3% rises applied to that amount too.
- •From 1 July 2026, where the Aged Care Award or Nurses Award rate for the classification the agreement maps to (Schedule 1) is higher, it is shown instead, because pay can't go below the award.
- •If your payslip shows a different base rate, go by your payslip. The work-value amounts haven't yet been compared with a Regis payslip.
- •Each rate applies from the first full pay period on or after the date shown. The agreement started operating on 2 March 2026. The July, October and November 2025 columns are printed in Appendix 1 and fall before that date.
- •Public holidays include Picnic Day (the agreement calls it Darwin Cup Day) and the Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve evenings from 7:00pm. A public holiday on a full-timer's rostered day off pays a day's pay (cl 35).
- •Overtime is time beyond your rostered hours, over 10 hours on a shift for part-timers and casuals, or over 76 hours a fortnight. Ordinary shifts are at least 4 hours for full-time care and lifestyle staff and 3 hours for everyone else (cl 20(d), 27(a)).
- •Full-time nurses get 5 weeks' annual leave and care and lifestyle staff 4 weeks, or 6 and 5 weeks for shift workers who meet the agreement's tests. Leave loading is 17.5%, or for shift workers the weekend and shift penalties they would have earned if that is higher (cl 34).
- •The agreement reaches its nominal expiry on 1 November 2028 and keeps applying until it is replaced.
- •Source: Regis Aged Care Northern Territory Enterprise Agreement 2025 (AE532141, [2026] FWCA 466), operative 2 March 2026, nominal expiry 1 November 2028. Read the full agreement at the Fair Work Commission: fwc.gov.au
