Don't know if Australian practices will be relevant, but most companies would pay penalty rates of some sort for shift work or weekends.
In the Public Sector, a 50% loading is paid for weekends and a 150% loading is paid for working on a public holiday.
Shift work outside of core hours (8 am - 6 pm) attracts a penalty of 15% for those hours worked outside the core hours.
Following information is an extract from Government policy. Hope this is of some help.

Sooner,
I just wanted to know if above and beyond the shift differetials would you pay a higher premium if they were to work ont eh weekend shift - however I think not if they have 2 consecutive days off - I know if it falls on a holiday then it is a different story but just checking on the regular ongoing basis.
Thanks
