The Australian Fair Pay Commission (AFPC) was an Australian legislative body that existed from 2006 to 2009. It was created under the Howard Government's "WorkChoices" industrial relations laws in 2006 to set the minimum pay for workers. Established to replace the wage-setting functions of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, the AFPC set and adjusted a single adult minimum wage, non-adult minimum wages (such as training wage), minimum wages for award classification levels, and casual loadings. The AFPC was abolished in December 2009 and the wage-setting function passed to the minimum wage panel of the Fair Work Commission. The minimum wage in Australia as at 31 July 2011 was $15.51 per hour or $589.30 per week. As at 1 July 2012, the minimum wage was $15.96 per hour or $606.40
