Awards

Awards are documents that set out the conditions and entitlements of employment for the employees specified in the Award. Awards may bind employer and employee parties mentioned in the Award or a broad range of employers and employees based on an industry or type of work.

Awards are issued by the Commission after hearing an application by a registered organisation or employer. Awards operate subject to the laws of the State and Commonwealth and are enforceable through the Industrial Magistrates Court.

If you are looking for a copy of an Award, you can find them in alphabetical order below. The search function can also be used to find current and past Awards.

If you are unsure if an Award applies to you, please contact WAGELINE.

The Western Australian Industrial Gazettes can be used to research Award variations. The Gazette can be accessed online here.

Please note some WA Awards contain pay rates that are currently below the State Minimum Wage. Employees must be paid the minimum pay rates if the relevant WA Award has a lower pay rate.

Cancelled Interim Awards can be found here.
