Collective Agreement 2006-2009
The FMC provides a simple and accessible forum for resolution of disputes under federal law. This agreement aims to support this objective by:
recognising the significant contribution and effort of our employees;
providing remuneration and conditions that are competitive and affordable and underpinned by productivity;
promoting flexibility and responsiveness to new challenges facing the court;
encouraging employees to support continuous improvement;
providing a safe and healthy workplace; and
promoting work and life balance.
During the life of this agreement, the FMC will continue to implement systems and procedures that provide the Australian community with simpler, quicker and less costly alternatives for resolving disputes.
All employees are expected to support, and constructively participate in, initiatives that the FMC will implement to achieve organisational objectives.
Employees of the FMC are employed under the provisions of the Public Service Act 1999. Therefore, the APS Values and Code of Conduct underpin the employment of FMC staff and are reflected in this collective agreement.
On a day-to-day basis, employees within the Federal Magistrate's chambers are responsible to the Federal Magistrate for whom they work. Other employees are responsible to the Chief Executive Officer. |
