View Fair Work Commission's top competitors like Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), Australian Human Rights Commission, and Australian Labor Party.
The Australian Labor Party is Australia's oldest political party. Our history is intertwined with the history of Australia’s democracy and labour movement.
Labor’s commitment to fairness at work, access to quality education no matter what a person’s circumstances and a firm belief that we should all have the same opportunities in life underpin what we do.
Labor has always aimed to, in the words of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam: "Promote equality, to involve the people of Australia in the decision-making processes of our land, and to liberate the talents and uplift the horizons of the Australian people."
