Australia’s getting a new Fair Work Court to slash delays and costs in workplace disputes — Prime Minister Albanese unveiled the plan at a major Labor conference, promising expert judges and faster, cheaper justice for workers and employers alike. After a 25-year gap since the last federal industrial court closed, this move aims to help even small claims — like hundreds or thousands of dollars — get resolved without drowning in legal fees. The government will soon consult workers, businesses, and legal experts to shape the court’s design, ensuring it complements the Fair Work Commission and remains accessible. Workplace Minister Amanda Rishworth and Attorney-General Michelle Rowland stress that specialist judges will bring real expertise to the table, creating a system that’s both fair and efficient — turning workplace conflicts into quicker, less costly resolutions.
