We are conducting a targeted review of modern awards in relation to priority topics.
The Fair Work Commission is conducting a review of modern awards after receiving a request from the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations (pdf).
The Modern Awards Review 2023-24 (AM2023/21) will look at 4 priority topics:
- Arts and Culture Sector – this topic will look at which awards cover workers and the minimum standards in the arts and culture sector.
- Job Security – this topic will consider whether modern award provisions support the objective of promoting job security and the need to improve access to secure work across the economy.
- Work and Care – this topic will look at how award terms can impact workers with caring responsibilities.
- Making awards easier to use – this topic will invite interested parties to make proposals on how to do this, without reducing entitlements for workers.
