Workplace Agreements In Australia

A Workplace Agreement (Australian AWA) is an individual written agreement of terms & conditions of employment between an employer & worker & or employees.

A workplace may be covered by an existing enterprise agreement specifying conditions above the award, which may mean that the Workplace Agreement is a reduction in standard workplace conditions.
