Draft awards audit

Fair Work Australia staff have prepared a list of federal and state awards (award-based transitional instruments) which are relevant to the Part 10A award modernisation process. This list can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet through the link below.

This list contains industry/occupation award-based transitional instruments which are potentially affected by award modernisation. The allocation of instruments to modern awards is indicative only. The coverage clause, classifications and any exclusions contained within modern awards determine their coverage. Any employers or employees seeking advice to determine which modern award they may be covered by should contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94.

The first tab (Pre-reform awards and NAPSAs) lists all industry/occupation federal pre-reform awards and state awards currently operating under the national workplace relations system as Notional agreements preserving state awards (NAPSAs) and the modern award(s) which may now cover employers and employees previously bound by this award or NAPSA. The text of each award can be viewed by clicking on the code for that award.

The second tab (Modern award titles) lists all modern awards that commenced on 1 January 2010 with a link to the modern award.

The third tab (Sorted by Modern award) lists all modern awards and the pre-reform awards and NAPSAs which may have covered these employers and employees prior to the making of this modern award.

This audit is currently a draft for comment. Please email any inquiries or feedback to Brendan Hower, Modern Awards Project Team at brendan.hower@fwa.gov.au.

Guide to format & structure of modern awards

A Microsoft Word Template and associated guide have been prepared by FWA staff to assist parties in the preparation of draft modern awards (in line with the preferred style of Fair Work Australia). The guide relates to style and format only. It does not purport to recommend the content of any modern award or award clause.
