Domino's award coverage

Domino's is covered by the Fast Food Industry Award (MA000003). In-store roles (pizza maker, customer service) and delivery drivers using Domino's-supplied vehicles are both covered. Drivers using their own vehicle are also covered, with additional km and vehicle allowances payable.

Domino's adult hourly rates

From 1 July 2025:

  • Level 1 (pizza maker, customer service, in-store driver): $27.81/hr permanent / $34.76/hr casual
  • Level 2 (cook, trainer): $29.45/hr / $36.81/hr
  • Level 3 (shift run, supervisor): $29.91/hr / $37.39/hr

Driver allowances (own vehicle)

If you use your own car for Domino's deliveries, you're entitled to a vehicle allowance on top of your hourly rate. Award rates from 1 July 2025:

  • Cents per kilometre: $0.95/km for cars, $0.34/km for motorbikes
  • Per shift (alternative — depends on franchise method): vehicle allowance amount per the award

This is in addition to your hourly rate, casual loading, and any penalty rates. If your franchise pays a flat "delivery fee" instead, check that it equals or exceeds the per-km calculation for your actual deliveries.

Junior rates

Under 21:

  • 16: $13.91/hr (50%)
  • 17: $16.69/hr (60%)
  • 18: $19.47/hr (70%)
  • 19: $22.25/hr (80%)
  • 20: $25.03/hr (90%)

Penalty rates

Saturday 125%, Sunday 150%, public holiday 225%. Late-night loadings: 10pm-midnight 110%, midnight-6am 115%.

Fast food pay issues worth checking on any payslip

General award-compliance issues that come up across the fast food sector. This is a checklist for your own payslip, not a finding about Domino's.

Issues to check:

  • Per-km vehicle allowance not paid for own-car deliveries
  • Junior rate not updated after birthday
  • Late-night loadings missed
  • "Off the clock" prep work before opening

Drivers: keep a log of every delivery, the date, and the kilometres. If your allowance is wrong, you'll need this evidence.
