In Australia, the Fair Work Commission and Fair Work Ombudsman have collaborated on a flyer to support the workplace rights of employee-like workers who deliver food and drinks or parcels via an app, the Fair Work Commission reports.
The flyer details the roles of the Fair Work Commission and Fair Work Ombudsman under workplace laws, which create rights for employee-like workers.
This resource can reportedly be distributed and displayed in hard copy (for example, on noticeboards) and digital forms, and includes QR codes linking to relevant information.
The Fair Work Commission has also translated the flyer into 6 community languages to help culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) users. The flyer is available in:
The Commission says it will distribute the flyers through its social media and stakeholder networks nationally, including organisations that support CALD communities.
It stated that the resource continues its shared commitment with the Fair Work Ombudsman to provide information and resources that meet the diverse needs of the Australian community and aligns with its strategy to deliver the right information at the right time and in the right format.
Murray Furlong - General Manager, Fair Work Commission - said, “The Commission is proud to present this resource in collaboration with our colleagues at the Fair Work Ombudsman as part of our ongoing commitment to improving access to justice for culturally and linguistically diverse communities. We will continue to work closely with other agencies and community representatives to improve our tools and resources over time.”
Anna Booth - the Fair Work Ombudsman -said, “We urge all workers to understand their workplace rights – especially those in non-English speaking communities. They can seek our free advice and assistance if they need it. Protecting migrant workers is a priority for the Fair Work Ombudsman as we know they can be vulnerable to exploitation. We are pleased to work with the Commission on this resource.”
