Industrial Relations Act 2016

On or before the nominal expiry date of a negotiated agreement, all of the parties to which the agreement applies may apply to the commission to terminate the agreement.

The commission must approve the termination if, and must not approve the termination unless, satisfied the termination is approved by—

for a negotiated agreement to which a group of independent couriers is a party—at least 65% of the independent couriers covered by the agreement in a secret ballot; or

otherwise—a valid majority of the independent couriers covered by the agreement in a properly conducted ballot.

The termination takes effect when the commission’s approval takes effect.
