All local government employers now operate in the state industrial relations system.
Please note:
- Local government employers may have industrial agreements that provide pay and entitlements specific to their workforce. The Local Government Officers Award or parts of it, may not apply if employees are covered by an industrial agreement.
- The Local Government Officers Award does not apply to employees whose local government employer transferred from the national industrial relations system to the state system on 1 January 2023. More information is available at local government transfer.
WA award summaries for previous years are provided as a resource for employers and employees. The previous versions contain out-of-date rates of pay.
