We are Australia’s national workplace relations tribunal. Our work directly impacts on millions of Australians every day and the systems we contribute to creating and maintaining are essential to the prosperity and wellbeing of our society. We play a significant role in setting the national minimum conditions of employment and resolving disputes in workplaces. We also aim to support simple, fair and flexible workplace relations through exercising powers under the Fair Work Act.
Our organisation consists of Members and Australian Public Service (APS) staff. Members are independent statutory appointees who perform a quasi-judicial role. They make legally binding decisions as part of their role. Our work includes:
• The safety net of minimum wages and employment conditions
• Dispute resolution
• Enterprise bargaining
• Industrial action
• Registered organisations
• Anti-bullying
• Termination of employment
