🇦🇺 Australia · Employment Compliance

Mandatory contracts, payroll and social-insurance registration, and the official labor authority.

Australia's national workplace-relations system is built on the Fair Work Act, the National Employment Standards (NES) and industry/occupation awards, regulated by the Fair Work Ombudsman. Employers must meet minimum pay and entitlements, provide the Fair Work Information Statement, and follow rules on hours, leave and termination.

  • The Fair Work Act, NES and awards set minimum pay and entitlements.
  • Give new employees the Fair Work Information Statement.
  • Follow rules on hours, leave and termination; the Fair Work Ombudsman enforces them.
