The on-demand delivery service claims “the sky is effectively the limit” under the government’s bill to set minimum conditions for gig workers.
DoorDash has warned that the average food delivery cost for families could more than triple under the Albanese government’s laws for minimum gig worker pay and conditions, in a worst-case scenario analysis.
DoorDash Australia general manager Rebecca Burrows said the platform was “committed to ensuring that Dashers have minimum standards that do not compromise the unique benefits of this form of work”. DoorDash argues this guardrail is not specific enough to prevent unintended consequences, claiming the “the sky is effectively the limit” on conditions, and they could even go beyond what is in awards.
Assuming the award’s minimum pay, super, penalty rates, allowances such as fuel and a per kilometre vehicle cost, it predicted a rise in delivery costs of more than 210 per cent based on full-time/part-time conditions and 260 per cent for casual conditions.DoorDash argued in its submission that FWC should only be allowed to set minimum pay, insurance, portable leave and payment times.
