Finished Cert 3 - Should my pay go up?

Post by Fairyfloss » Wed May 28, 2025 5:29 am

I started my traineeship after year 10. I finished my traineeship in March this year (2025) along with my Cert 3. I have a contract with the Council (who owns the childcare centre) that finishes in January 2026. My pay rate is $18.67/hour. This was my trainee wage since the start of 2025. Should I be paid more since I have my Cert.3? or because I have a contract that goes until January 2026 do I get paid trainee wages until Jan 2026 even though I finished my traineeship in March? It says ... Train yr10 2... on my payslip.
Thank you so much for your help.
