Wages, awards and agreements

For wages and conditions information you need to direct enquiries to the Fair Work Infoline: 13 13 94

As of 1 January 2010, the Tasmanian Governments powers for industrial relations were transferred to the Commonwealth. All workplaces in the private sector, who up until this time were in the state system (sole traders, partnerships etc), moved into the national scheme (Fair Work Act) effective from this date.

This move did not affect state service employees who remain under the Tasmanian Industrial Relations Act 1984.

Workplace Standards Tasmania no longer provides industrial relations advice, other than to State Service employees.

Further information

Unless otherwise outlined in an award or registered agreement, the Long Service Leave Act 1976 will continue to apply to all employees in Tasmania and will be administered by Workplace Standards Tasmania.
