Fair Work Commission
Justice Hatcher, President has issued a statement about 2 new disputes types the Commission will be able to deal with from 6 June 2023. These are disputes relating to requests for:
- flexible working arrangements, and
- extension of unpaid parental leave.
Read the President's statement (pdf).
When certain employers and employees cannot agree on a solution at the workplace level, we will be able to deal with a dispute about a request. We may do this by conciliation, mediation, or mandatory arbitration if necessary.
To support these changes we are:
- creating new forms
- updating our website guidance, and
- reviewing existing modern award terms dealing with requests for flexible working arrangements.
