Reviews into the General Retail Industry Award and Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)

December 16, 2024

Members often share with our advisory team the challenges they encounter when attempting to comply with the terms of the General Retail Industry Award and the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).

We share and understand the frustration members feel, and welcome the feedback that we receive. As a prominent and respected voice representing our sector and industry, we are uniquely placed to advocate and make our members’ collective concerns heard.

We are deeply troubled by changes that the Australian Government has made to industrial relations over the last few years and together with other industry groups, have repeatedly warned the government, government agencies and politicians about the impact those industrial relations changes will have on our members.

The Australian Government is undertaking a review into the changes it has made to some aspects of industrial relations in recent years. Separately, the Fair Work Commission is considering a number of cases to amend the General Retail Industry Award. We are actively participating in these reviews and cases and advocating strongly on behalf of members. MGAIBA encourage members to reach out to our team to share and discuss experiences which could assist in explaining how members are impacted. Have your say here!

Beyond CCTV : How AI is transforming retail security

Retail crime is changing. So too are the technologies helping retailers respond.

For years, CCTV has been an essential part of store security, capturing evidence after an incident has occurred. Today, artificial intelligence is taking that role a step further. From facial recognition and behaviour analysis to real-time alerts, a new generation of security technology is helping retailers identify potential risks earlier, respond more effectively to repeat offending and better protect their staff and customers.
