Fair Work is the name of the workplace relations system, that governs the employment relationship in Australia. The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) is the legislation that sets out important employment laws in Australia. The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) sets the minimum terms and conditions, known as the National Employment Standards (NES), for the majority of employees in Australia that are covered by the national workplace relations system. The Fair Work Ombudsman and Fair Work Commission play an integral role in the effective operation of the Fair Work system in Australia.
