Fair Work Commission
The Fair Work Commission (FWC) is the national industrial tribunal, established under Pt 5-1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act). The tribunal was formerly known as Fair Work Australia (FWA), and was renamed the FWC as of 1 January 2013.
The FWC is responsible for dealing with a wide range of matters under the FW Act, predominantly through the exercise of dispute resolution powers including mediation, conciliation and (in some instances) arbitration.
The tribunal commenced operation on 1 July 2009, replacing the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC).
