Domino's has had no enterprise agreement since its SDA agreements were terminated with effect from 24 January 2018; in March 2018 it said its team members would stay on the Fast Food Industry Award. The award covers in-store staff and employee delivery drivers at corporate and franchised stores.
Next scheduled increase: First full pay period on or after 1 December 2026. Staff aged 18 to 20 who have worked for their franchisee for more than 6 months move up: 18-year-olds from 70% to 75%, 19-year-olds from 80% to 85%, and 20-year-olds from 90% to 95% of the adult rate (determination PR813654). At Level 1 that is $20.86, $23.64 and $26.42 an hour. Adult rates next change with the 2027 Annual Wage Review.
Every level: Fast Food Award rates 2026.
These are the Fast Food Industry Award minimums, which apply to Domino's corporate and franchised stores. Some stores may pay more.
Domino's delivery drivers who are employees are paid the Level 1 rate — the same as in-store crew — plus a per-kilometre allowance for using their own car. People delivering through app platforms as contractors are not covered by these rates.
In July 2026 the Federal Court gave judgment in a class action about Domino's use of old agreements between 2013 and January 2018. It concerns past pay, not current rates.
