The current industrial relations system Previously under the Workplace Relations Amendments (WorkChoices) Act 2005 there were a number of categories of workers for determining wages and conditions. These included: The safety net Certified agreements (union and non-union) Individual contracts (AWAs) Greenfield agreements (employer and union)

The current industrial relations system Under the FWA 2009 there is still the Safety Net but no individual contracts. The Safety Net for those workers unable to negotiate an enterprise agreement. These tend to be the least skilled workers All workers who are not governed by the safety net will fall under one of the following agreements: ◦Single-enterprise agreements ◦Multi-enterprise agreements ◦Greenfields agreements
