Modern Awards Review 2023–24

The Fair Work Commission is conducting a review of modern awards after receiving a request from the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations (pdf).

The Modern Awards Review 2023-24 (AM2023/21) will look at 4 priority topics:

• Arts and Culture Sector – this topic will look at which awards cover workers and the minimum standards in the arts and culture sector.
• Job Security – this topic will consider whether modern award provisions support the objective of promoting job security and the need to improve access to secure work across the economy.
• Work and Care – this topic will look at how award terms can impact workers with caring responsibilities.
• Making awards easier to use – this topic will invite interested parties to make proposals on how to do this, without reducing entitlements for workers.
