As of June 2025, seven (7) Australian Universities have entered into Enforceable Undertakings with the Fair Work Ombudsman, following several years of Fair Work Ombudsman focus on the higher education sector.
We have compiled a comparison table which outlines the key terms contained in the seven University Enforceable Undertakings, including additional commentary.
This table highlights the similarities and also the differences to some key terms, particularly in relation to:
union consultation (the 'Workers Voice');
oversight of remaining remediation program (if any); and
internal versus external audits.
