The Commission intends to start a process of correcting errors and removing ambiguities in modern awards arising from variations made during the 4 yearly review (the residual variations process). Documents and information about the process will be published on this page.
Since 2014, the Fair Work Commission has been conducting the 4 yearly review of modern awards in accordance with section 156 of the Fair Work Act 2009.
On 12 December 2018, section 156 of the Fair Work Act was repealed by the Fair Work Amendment (Repeal of 4 Yearly Reviews and Other Measures) Act 2018 (the Amending Act) with effect from 1 January 2018.
Under the application and transitional provisions of the Amending Act, a review of an award that started but was not completed before 1 January 2018 can continue under the terms of the repealed provisions.
In 2019, the Commission announced it would start a process to finalise the exposure drafts produced during the 4 yearly review and the consequent variation of each modern award. This process is now mostly complete.
The Commission intends to start a process of correcting errors and removing ambiguities in modern awards arising from variations made during the 4 yearly review (the residual variations process).
The residual variations process commenced on the Commission's own motion under section 160 of the Fair Work Act.
