About Fair Work Australia
The Fair Work Commission and Fair Work Ombudsman are the two halves of Australia’s industrial relation authority. The commission is the independent national workplace relations tribunal. It is responsible for maintaining a safety net of minimum wages and employment conditions, as well as a range of other workplace functions and regulation. Conversely, the Ombudsman enforces compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009 and the related legislation, awards and registered agreements (often from the commission).
