Officeworks Pay Rates 2026: Casual, Part-Time & Junior Pay

Officeworks (owned by Wesfarmers, like Bunnings) is covered by the General Retail Industry Award (MA000004). Some Officeworks sites have enterprise agreements that pay slightly above award. Either way, the award sets the minimum your pay can be.

This covers print and copy team members, business hub, retail floor, customer service, and online order fulfilment.

Adult Level 1 rates (from 1 July 2025):

• Permanent: $27.81/hr
• Casual: $34.76/hr (includes 25% casual loading)

Print and copy specialists, business consultants, and Tech Connect roles often qualify for Level 2 ($28.45/hr permanent) or Level 3 ($28.89/hr permanent). Officeworks generally pays at or slightly above award.

Under-21 percentages of the adult Level 1 rate:

• Under 16: $12.51/hr (45%)
• 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%)

Permanent adult Level 1:

• Saturday: $34.76/hr
• Sunday: $41.71/hr
• Public holiday: $62.57/hr
• After 6pm: $34.76/hr

Officeworks 24-hour stores pay overnight loading on top of the base rate — check your specific site's enterprise agreement if it has one.

Three checks:

1. Compare your hourly rate to the award figures above. If lower, you're underpaid.
2. Check whether weekend and evening hours were paid at the higher rate, not the base.
3. If on casual, confirm the casual loading is on top of the base — not baked into a single flat rate.

Use our back-pay calculator if you've been underpaid, then raise it with Wesfarmers HR. Underpayments can be recovered six years back.
