Employees may want to negotiate a new agreement with an employer (or employers). An employer may refuse. The bargaining representative can apply to us to order the employer to start the process.

Who can use this form
A ‘majority support determination’ is a legal decision that makes the employer start the bargaining process with employees.
Only use Form F30 if you are:
- the bargaining representative of an employee covered by the proposed single-enterprise agreement
Before you start
Have this information ready before you begin Form F30. You need to tell us:
- the employer(s) that the proposed enterprise agreement will cover
- the industry of the employer(s), chosen from the list of industries
- which employees the proposed agreement will cover.
We also need to know:
- that the employer(s) has not agreed to bargain or started bargaining
- that the group of employees the agreement will cover was chosen fairly
- how you found that the majority of employees want to bargain for the agreement.
We store your information in line with the Form F30 privacy notice (pdf).
