• Stronger access for flexible working arrangements and unpaid parental leave

• Stronger protections (adverse action, harassment, discrimination)

• Ensuring all workers can negotiate in good faith

• Ensuring workers and business have flexible options for reaching agreement

• Making the “better off overall” test for agreement approval simple, flexible and fair.

• proactive help for workers, particularly new entrants and small-to-medium businesses

• fit for purpose and fair agreement termination process
