Industrial Relations Law Reform Agenda

Having difficulty cutting across the campaigning to focus on the actual policies of each party? Herbert Smith Freehills have prepared and continually updated a broad summary of the proposed industrial relations reforms publicly announced by the Liberal Party and the Australian Labor Party (ALP).

The policies deal with areas such as:

• Bargaining and industrial action
• Dispute resolution
• Right of entry
• Wages and gender pay
• Modern awards
• Types of employment
• National employment standards and paid parental leave
• Transfer of business
• Labour hire
• General protections, bullying, discrimination and unfair dismissal
• Sham contracting, underpayments and accessorial liability
• Superannuation
• Regulators
• Gig economy
• Temporary workers
• Registered organisations
• Whistleblowing
• Privacy
