Apply to deal with a dispute under a dispute settlement procedure (Form F10)

Use this form to ask us to deal with a workplace dispute if:

• a modern award
• an enterprise agreement
• a minimum standards order,
• a road transport contractual chain order
• a collective agreement, or
• a public sector determination, contract of employment or other written agreement (if your dispute is about the National Employment Standards or a safety net contractual entitlement) includes a dispute settlement procedure that allows us to deal with the dispute.

This form can be used by a party to the dispute (or their representative).

Before you apply, you must complete all steps required under the dispute resolution procedure to try to resolve the dispute first. 

When you apply, you will need to tell us:

• details of the award, agreement, order or other instrument that contains the dispute resolution procedure
• what the dispute is about
• what steps you've taken under the procedure to resolve the dispute
• what you want us to do to resolve the dispute – we can only do what the procedure allows us to do.

You must also attach a copy of the dispute resolution procedure.

We store your information in line with the Form F10 privacy notice (pdf).

You must send (serve) a copy of the form and any other documents you lodge to the other side (the respondent). 

We will contact you to tell you what will happen next.
