We are creating the Fair Work Agency to deliver a much-needed upgrade to enforcement of workers’ rights.
The Fair Work Agency will work closely with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS), which already provides guidance for both employers and workers in these specific areas, to deliver appropriate support to the majority of businesses who want to comply with the law.
