Since 2021, our wages have suffered a real wage decline because our pay increases have not kept up with the growing cost of living.
This has meant a 5.8% decline in our real wages when compared with inflation.
Date | Bankwest pay increases | CPI (June quarter) |
|---|---|---|
1 July 2021 | 3.25% | 3.8% |
1 July 2022 | 3.6% | 6.1% |
1 July 2023 | 3.25% | 6% |
Total | 10.10% | 15.90% |
Wage decline | – 5.80% | |
