The Fair Work Act has undergone a number of amendments this year, including amendments to the Fair Work Amendment Act.

Among the changes have been increases to minimum wage, anti-bullying laws, maternity leave, unfair dismissal salary threshold increases and changes to compensation amounts and migration terms.

For many who do not closely monitor these events the raft of changes can be overwhelming, but workplace law experts say all workers should try to get their heads around the amendments and the new state of the Fair Work Act, as it will likely play an important role in the upcoming election and the future working lives of Australians.

The Government has collated all the submissions, records and plans for the amendments on their website, the valuable online resource allows users to track and stay updated on any further progress.
