Why FairWork Mate

Built for Australian employers, not adapted for them

The three things that separate this from a general-purpose AI assistant given a workplace-law prompt.

An Australian company, for Australian business

Run and managed from Australia, built around the Fair Work Act, the National Employment Standards and Australia's award system from day one — not a US tool with a local skin.

Australian data, combined into one AI

13,973 enterprise agreements, 2,369 Fair Work Commission and Federal Court decisions, 1,565 sections of workplace legislation, all 52 modern awards and WHS codes of practice — one tool, not six separate government websites.

Your compliance backstop

Reviewed by Australian HR professionals

The awards, calculators and HR guidance behind FairWork Mate are reviewed and validated by Australian-based HR professionals — human expertise layered on top of the data, not a general-purpose AI assistant guessing at how Australian law is actually applied.
