The Queensland Workplace Rights Ombudsman provides information and advice to Queensland workers and employers about their workplace rights and obligations, and to promote fair and equitable practices in Queensland workplaces.
Whether you’re a worker or an employer the Ombudsman provides impartial and independent advice and information on both the State and Federal industrial relations systems.
The Queensland Workplace Rights Ombudsman’s Office operates the Workplace Rights hotline on 1300 737 841 (formerly the Fair Go Queensland Advisory Service hotline).
To further assist Queenslanders, the Government has also developed the Compare What's Fair online award comparison calculator as a guide for employees to compare state awards against Australian Workplace Agreements (AWAs).
For employers, the calculator allows them to ascertain whether or not they are offering a fair equivalent to the award package.
