Fair Work Commission

The Fair Work Commission is extensively varying existing awards as a result of the 4 yearly review of modern awards.

The modern awards will be varied in 3 tranches during 2020. In a decision published on 27 April 2020 ([2020] FWCFB 2124), the awards in tranche 3 were divided into smaller groups.

The technical and drafting matters for the Food, Beverage and Tobacco Manufacturing Award 2010 and the Graphic Arts, Printing and Publishing Award 2010 have been completed. The varied awards were published in advance and commence operation today, 11 December 2020.

Any outstanding substantive or common issues claims that have not yet been determined will be incorporated into the varied awards by way of a subsequent variation determination.

To access these awards, go to the Modern awards list on the Commission's website.
