If the original 1k was the award rate for 38hrs ie. $26.32/hr you'd have no choice other than to reduce hours if you reduced it to $750.
So it wouldn't be a pay cut, it would be a move to a reduced 28.5hrs and permanent part time conditions with sick and holiday pay.
Interestingly, for people receiving more than their original wage, employer super contribution is only required on the original rate, not on the full $750.
