Submissions due: 31 July 2026, 5pmWe are consulting to hear about people’s experiences with employment disputes and the dispute resolution system.
We want to hear from business owners, workers, representative groups, anyone who has been involved as a party to an employment dispute, or has supported or represented someone in a dispute, and the wider public about your experiences with employment disputes.
This includes how disputes happen and get resolved, and what is or isn’t working in the employment relations settings for disputes and the government-provided dispute resolution system.
Your feedback will help us find where there may be opportunities to improve the employment disputes system.
