Fair Work Australia - A new approach to creating balance in the workplace.

In January 2010 the 'Fair Work Australia' policy will begin, and the current 'Work Choices' industrial relations laws will be scrapped.

This site is the place to find independant information and latest updates on the new government legislation being implemented by the current Labour Government under Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

There are many pieces of information on the current workchoices policy including:-

• federal minimum wage and minimum wage increase,
• awards rates,
• overtime rates,
• industrial relations laws,
• current minimum wage,
• unfair dismissal appeal process,
• workers compensation,
• federal wage rates etc
  

Information is currently scattered across the internet. The aim of this site is to provide a hub of information for both workers and employers alike.

It can be difficult to understand exactly how government legislation will affect employee and employer 's rights and obligations. We aim to provide a service which will assist to make sense of the new laws by having articles and official press releases available as and when they happen.

Here you can find the answers you need for all your IR law questions, aswell as links to all current state and federal departments relevant to current work choices and the upcoming Fair Work Australia policy.

Maybe you are looking for the current minimum wage or information on the federal employment laws. If the answers aren't here or you are having difficulty finding an answer then please visit the forum or see our FAQ page .
