Goodwin Aged Care Repays $1.39 Million in Back Wages to 335 Underpaid Staff
Canberra-based Goodwin Aged Care Services Limited has repaid $1.39 million in back wages, superannuation, and interest to 335 employees who were underpaid between 2018 and 2025. The company self-reported the underpayments to the Fair Work Ombudsman in July 2024 following an internal audit that identified payroll issues. The audit revealed that individual flexibility arrangements for 313 employees did not meet the 'better-off-overall test,' which requires employees to be better off compared to their award or registered agreement. Additionally, 22 residential care employees missed out on penalty rates for early afternoon shifts due to payroll problems. The Fair Work Ombudsman, Anna Booth, noted that most of the underpaid staff worked in Goodwin's Canberra operations and over 75% were from non-English speaking backgrounds, including personal care workers, nurses, and other roles. Booth emphasized that migrants and visa holders have the same workplace rights as other employees and protections for their visas if they report issues. Goodwin engaged independent forensic accountants and legal specialists to review the payroll, identify affected employees, and calculate the owed amounts. The company issued a formal apology, expressing regret for the errors and committing to compliant payroll practices. As part of an enforceable undertaking with the Fair Work Ombudsman, Goodwin must engage an auditor to verify compliance, ensure board action on issues, provide documentation, maintain communication with workers, and post a notice about the underpayments on its website. This case is part of a broader trend, with recent investigations of 22 aged care providers recovering over $5.3 million for nearly 3600 underpaid workers. The Fair Work Ombudsman urged all aged care providers to check their compliance and ensure payroll systems are fit-for-purpose to guarantee employees receive all entitled wages.
