The Fair Work Commission’s approach on its employees receiving gifts and benefits is that gifts and benefits should generally not be accepted.
Australian Public Service Commission Guidance on Gifts and Benefits requires that from 18 October 2019 agency heads maintain and publish a register of all gifts and benefits they accept valued at over $100 (excluding GST). This requirement was extended to all Fair Work Commission staff.
The Fair Work Commission General Manager has not received any gifts or benefits since 18 October 2019.
Staff of the Fair Work Commission have received the following gifts or benefits from 1 July 2020 with an estimated value above $100.
| Date received | Date recorded | Gift item/benefit service | Received by | Presented by | Occasion | Estimated value in $A |
