Summaries of significant decisions

Print this page

Introduction

As part of the Future Directions objectives of promoting fairness and accessibility, the Fair Work Commission issues decision summaries for significant Commission decisions to help you better access and understand them.

Decision summaries may be issued for matters that deal with important issues of principle, or have generated significant public interest. The decision summaries will be published on this page at the same time as the decision is published.

These decision summaries are not a substitute for the published reasons for the Commission's decisions nor are they to be used in any later consideration of the Commission's reasons.

Major cases

We also have dedicated sites for major cases being heard by the Commission. The sites provide links to a wide range of information about each case, including applications, decisions, orders and transcripts:

  • Major cases
  • Annual national wage case decisions since 1985
