Sporting Organisations Award
Covers national, state and local sporting associations, clubs and similar bodies - applies to coaches and clerical / administrative staff. 10 classifications across two streams - Coaching (Grades 1-4) and Clerical and Administrative (Grades 1-6). Standard rate is Clerical and Administrative Grade 2. Excludes CEOs, second / third-tier management (CFO, State Coach above award level), AFL / VFL coaches whose coaching is not their principal source of income, and racing club employees.
Fully built. Rates, allowances, penalties and any required apprentice / junior rates are all wired to the rate resolver and have been verified against the consolidated award text and the latest pay guide.
Official Fair Work rates. This award’s minimum pay rates are synced directly from the Fair Work Commission’s Modern Awards Pay Database and updated automatically when the Commission changes them - including the annual wage review - so payroll always uses the current legal minimums without a manual update.
