Australia's lowest-paid workers are set to get a pay rise of $24.30 a week from July 1.
The Fair Work Commission on Friday handed down its annual ruling on the national minimum wage, raising it by 3.5 per cent to $719.20 a week, or $18.93 an hour.
Unions had been calling for a $50 rise, while employers were arguing for a $13 a week increase for more than 2.3 million Australians.
