Document background
Collective Agreements are fundamental instruments in Australian workplace relations, used when employers and employees wish to establish tailored employment terms and conditions for a specific workplace or organization. These agreements must comply with the Fair Work Act 2009 and are typically negotiated through collective bargaining processes, often involving union representation. A Collective Agreement supersedes any applicable Modern Award while maintaining the minimum standards set by the National Employment Standards. The agreement becomes legally binding after approval by the Fair Work Commission and remains in effect for its specified term, usually up to four years. It serves as the primary reference point for workplace rights and obligations, dispute resolution, and employment conditions for all covered employees.
