The passage of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022 (Act) in December last year, marks the most extensive industrial relations reform seen since the introduction of the Fair Work Act some 13 years ago, and the impact of this legislation is significant.

While further industrial relations reform (such as on ‘same job, same pay’, among other topics) is expected to follow this year, the reforms passed are significant and will substantively impact how Australian employers structure and manage their workforces and set terms and conditions of employment.

This session will provide an overview of the key elements of the Act and what it means for Australian employers.
