Fair Work System

Definition

The fair work system includes the Fair Work Act 2009, the National Employment Standards (NES), awards, registered agreements and other legislation, as well as the institutions that administer the system, including the Fair Work Commission and the Fair Work Ombudsman.

The Peak program is brought to you by the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) with grant funding from the Australian Government.
