Bunnings Enterprise Agreement 2026: What It Pays and the New Deal Being Negotiated

Bunnings team members are covered by Bunnings' single-enterprise agreement, which commenced on 8 September 2023 and has a nominal expiry date of 31 August 2026. It was approved by the Fair Work Commission after team members voted it up (a 76.7% "yes" vote in 2023). It sits on top of the General Retail Industry Award (MA000004), which remains the floor.

Because the current agreement reaches its nominal expiry on 31 August 2026, Bunnings and the SDA have begun bargaining a replacement, with the union surveying team members in stores about pay and conditions. If you work at Bunnings, this is the moment your input shapes the next deal — and any new agreement will still have to pass the Better Off Overall Test against the retail award before the Commission approves it.

The agreement's rates sit above the General Retail Industry Award minimum (the BOOT requires it). For the current verified hourly rates by age and employment type, see our Bunnings pay rates 2026 page, and check the award floor with the retail award pay rate tool.

The agreement sets penalty rates, casual loading, overtime, allowances and rostering for Bunnings roles. Compare your payslip to your classification and to the award floor, and if it doesn't add up, run it through our underpayment checker.

The current agreement is public on the Fair Work Commission's Find an Enterprise Agreement register (search "Bunnings"). The SDA publishes it with a member summary and posts bargaining updates for the 2026 negotiations. For how agreements work generally, see our guide to enterprise agreements in Australia.
