The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) wants the Australian Fair Pay Commission (AFPC) to recognise that low-paid workers are struggling with rising costs and need more assistance.
"ACOSS is concerned that jobless households and low-paid households are under strain with rising living costs and relatively low wages," ACOSS executive director Andrew Johnson said in a statement.
"Taking into account inflation, the minimum wage is at the same level as it was in 1989.
"The AFPC should boost the minimum wage to benefit low paid and jobless families in Australia."
