Introduction (AM2020/13)

On 8 April 2020 a Full Bench of the Commission issued a Decision [2020] FWCFB 1837 varying 99 modern awards to insert a new Schedule X: Additional measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the course of the proceedings the ACTU, AMNF, the HSU and APESMA made submissions regarding the particular circumstances of health care workers. As a result, we have decided to establish a separate process to address the issues raised by these parties (AM2020/13).

The awards which are the subject of this process are as follows:

Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services Award 2010
Aged Care Award 2010
Ambulance and Patient Transport Industry Award 2010
Health Professionals and Support Services Award 2010
Medical Practitioners Award 2020
Nurses Award 2010
