Workplace Authority
The Workplace Authority is the central point of contact for advice, education and information on Australia's workplace relations system for employers and employees. The Workplace Authority also accepts lodgements of workplace agreements and assesses whether they pass the no-disadvantage test.
The Workplace Authority can explain the content of agreements in ways appropriate to an employee's specific needs including, for example, the circumstances of persons from a non-English speaking background and young persons.
The Workplace Authority assists employers and employees to understand the Australian Fair Pay and Conditions Standard and provides up to date information about Pay scales and awards.
An employer or employee can ask the Workplace Authority to check a workplace agreement to ensure it does not contain prohibited content.
You can contact the Workplace Authority's Workplace Infoline on 1300 363 264 between 8.00am - 7.00pm Monday to Friday.
