All private sector employers and employees in New South Wales and Queensland are covered by the national workplace relations system. This means that all employers and employees in the national system have the same employment rights and obligations, regardless of the state their business is located in.

The national system includes a number of important features, which both employers and employees must comply with, including:

• the 10 minimum National Employment Standards (NES)

• modern awards for specific industries and occupations

• a national minimum wage order (where it applies)

• protection from unfair dismissal.
