Making awards easier to use – part of the Modern Awards Review 2023–24

In the Modern Awards Review 2023–24 we will look at how to make the most commonly-used awards easier to use without reducing entitlements for workers.

Any proposals for making awards easier to use are confined to the 7 most commonly used awards:

  • Children's Services Award 2010
  • Clerks – Private Sector Award 2020
  • Fast Food Industry Award 2020
  • General Retail Industry Award 2020
  • Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020
  • Restaurant Industry Award 2020
  • Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010

Consultations will be held with President Hatcher between 8 and 19 March 2024.
