After a decade of the Liberals and Nationals driving down wages and conditions, the Albanese Labor Government has made improving Australia’s industrial relations system a priority. 

Since coming to government we have: 

•  Made bargaining better and fairer including multi-employer bargaining 

•  Closed the labour hire loophole through same job, same pay

•  Made wage theft and industrial manslaughter a criminal offence

•  Made it easier for casuals to convert to permanent roles  

•  Introduced measures to close the gender pay gap

•  Banned pay secrecy

•  Increased the wages of aged care workers

•  Introduced world-first minimum standards for the gig economy

•  Introduced laws to make road transport jobs safer and more sustainable

•  Ended the abuse of rolling fixed term contracts

•  Created a right to request flexible work

•  Created a right to disconnect from work after hours

•  Made it illegal to advertise jobs below the legal minimum wage

•  Strengthened laws against discrimination and sexual harassment

•  Cracked down on sham contracting

•  Made it easier for workplace delegates to identify safety and compliance issues

•  Created a right to paid family and domestic violence leave

•  Delivered a historic expansion to paid parental leave

The Liberals and Nationals have consistently opposed higher wages, safer workplaces and more secure jobs.
