EG Australia Pay Rates 2026: Console Operator, Store & Junior Pay

EG Australia runs a large fuel and convenience retail network — its sites combine fuel bowsers with a convenience store and, at many locations, a food-to-go offer. The business has recently become part of Ampol, with fuel and convenience sites transitioning between the EG and Ampol brands as the two networks combine.

Convenience-store and forecourt staff are covered by the Vehicle Repair, Services and Retail Award 2020, under its retail, service and repair stream. Our corpus holds no current EG Australia enterprise agreement, so the award tables below are what should be on the payslip while the business integrates with its new owner.

The federal awards relevant to EG Australia roles:

Console operators working alone, night shifts and weekends attract the award's own loadings — the award publishes loaded console-operator rates for Monday–Friday, weekend and overtime hours. Check a specific shift with the penalty rates calculator.

As at 25 September 2026, our corpus of 14,141 federally registered enterprise agreements holds no current agreement for EG Australia. That usually means one of three things: the employer pays on the award (or on individual contracts above it), the agreement covering you is registered under a different entity name (check the employer name on your payslip and search our agreements database), or — for state public-sector employers — pay is set by a state award or agreement outside the federal register. If you have a copy of an agreement that names EG Australia, it beats the award figures above.

General award-compliance issues that come up across the fuel retail sector. This is a checklist for your own payslip, not a finding about EG Australia:

• Console operators working alone at night without the award's loaded rates.
• Junior rates not stepping up, and the wrong RS&R level for supervisory duties.
• Unpaid opens, closes and cash-ups.
• Franchise sites paying below the award — the franchisee is the employer, but the award still applies.

Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you?
