Variation of modern awards to include a delegates’ rights term: draft term published

Fair Work Commission

Justice Hatcher has issued a statement announcing the publication of a draft delegates’ rights term to be inserted into modern awards.

We are required to insert a delegates’ rights term into all modern awards by 30 June 2024. This is due to changes arising from the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Act 2023.

The draft term was prepared following an extensive public consultation and submissions process conducted by the Full Bench in February and April this year. Publication of the draft term is in accordance with the timetable in Justice Hatcher’s 30 January 2024 Statement (pdf).
