Notes
- •Covers registered and enrolled nurses, assistants in nursing and lifestyle staff at Regis Aged Care's residential homes in Western Australia (cl 4). Support services 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 26.4(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 April 2027 and April 2028 3% rises applied to that amount too.
- •From 1 July 2026, where the Aged Care Award or Nurses Award rate for the agreement's printed classification translation is higher, it is shown instead, because pay can't go below the award (cl 26.3).
- •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 (cl 26.2). The agreement started operating on 10 July 2026. Its first pay tier is 1 April 2026, which is also used for earlier dates.
- •Overtime is time beyond your rostered hours, over 10 hours on a shift for part-timers and casuals, or over 76 hours a fortnight. Minimum engagement is 3 hours (cl 15.6, 16.3, 23.1). A nurse required to stay on the premises and available during a meal break is paid the 30 minutes at the ordinary rate (cl 25.2).
- •A public holiday on a full-timer's rostered day off pays a day's pay (cl 31.6).
- •Annual leave is 5 weeks, or 6 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 30).
- •The agreement reaches its nominal expiry on 31 March 2029 and keeps applying until it is replaced.
- •Source: Regis Aged Care Enterprise Agreement – Western Australia 2025 (AE533314, [2026] FWCA 1732), operative 10 July 2026, nominal expiry 31 March 2029. Read the full agreement at the Fair Work Commission: fwc.gov.au
