WORKPLACE LAW REFORM IN 2009

After a contentious debate in the Senate, the Fair Work Bill 2009 was passed on 20 March 2009. The content of most of the new legislation will take effect on 1 July 2009 and will comprehensively replace the key federal workplace relations legislation which has been in place for 13 years, the Workplace Relations Act 1996. The balance will take effect on 1 January 2010.

Contrary to reports that “Work Choices is dead!’, the new legislation retains many key reforms introduced by the Work Choices amendments to the Workplace Relations Act 1996, while restoring some pre-Work Choices provisions and creating some new provisions.

Overall, the Fair Work Act 2009 will represent a clearer and simpler approach to workplace regulation for the majority of Australian employers and employees. After the tumultuous years which followed the controversial Work Choices reforms and in the current daunting economic environment, this will come as a relief to many.
