Parties participating in the Australian jobs and skills summit have identified removing “unnecessary limitations” to single and multi-employer agreements as a priority to be addressed, along with improving the Fair Work Act.

Speaking at the summit on Sep. 1, Employment Minister Tony Burke said there were a number of issues with the Fair Work Act that needed to be dealt with immediately, including providing better access to flexible work arrangements and unpaid parental leave.
