Australia has reached a landmark agreement with UberEats and DoorDash that will introduce minimum pay and safety standards for delivery workers for the first time. Under the draft deal, couriers will earn at least A$31.30 per hour—bringing many on-demand drivers in line with casual worker wages. The agreement also includes mandatory injury insurance and greater job transparency. If approved by the Fair Work Commission, the new protections begin in July next year.
