All awards include consultation provisions. They talk about the kinds of changes that employers need to discuss with their employees and their representatives.
Employees don’t have to have a representative when their employer is consulting with them.
If an employee does want to be represented, there’s no limit on who they can choose to be their representative. It can be anyone they think is suitable.
