A rise is due when Queensland's arbitration is decided.
AE522956 cl 4.5.1(c) ties the 1 Jul 2025 rise to the Queensland Department of Education headline rise and prints no rate. The Department paid none. The Diocesan employers paid 3 per cent under the identical clause, so a rise is likely, but no Religious Institute schedule was found (parity test not testable, parity-test.md 3.3). Expired 30 Jun 2026, no later rate published. (source)
