New Same Job Same Pay laws mean labour hire workers can receive the same pay as permanents doing the same work – putting more money into mining communities
The Albanese Government promised to introduce Same Job Same Pay laws, and they delivered.
Same Job Same Pay is lifting wages for coal mineworkers across Australia and transforming our industry.
Over a thousand labour hire mine workers have already seen their pay packets increase by tens of thousands a year to match the rates of their directly employed workmates, following our successful Same Job Same Pay orders.

That is about $25 million more in the pockets of mineworkers and their families, being spent in our mining communities.
Peter Dutton and the big mining companies plan to reverse Same Job Same Pay if they win the next election.
- The LNP voted against Same Job Same Pay laws in Parliament.
- Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume has said that Same Job Same Pay is in the LNP’s sights if reelected.
- Shadow Workplace Relations Minister Michaelia Cash has said that Labor’s pro-worker reforms would be overturned under a Dutton Government, and as Same Job Same Pay passed promised that the coalition would ‘always stand with the employers of Australia’.
Reversing Same Job Same Pay is a top priority for the big mining companies, and Peter Dutton has proclaimed to the bosses they will be ‘the best friend you ever had.’
We can’t afford to risk that.
