Services About Us

Comprehensive knowledge ensured a complex Agreement was approved by Fair Work

Scenic Tours engaged Hunter Employee Relations to re-negotiate several Enterprise Agreements for the Tour Delivery team. This was a difficult exercise as the employees involved were working remotely across Australia and New Zealand. Michael did more than just provide advice - he actively facilitated the making of the Agreement ensuring open communication and driving the negotiation to its conclusion. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the legal requirements which ensured that a complex Agreement was approved by the Fair Work Commission.

Excellent drafting ability and quick turn-around time

Hunter Employee Relations assisted Youth Express with the development and approval of our Enterprise Agreement. Michael actively and professionally directed the whole staff consultation process through to approval for an organisation that did not fit easily into any current awards system. Michael proved a high level of professionalism demonstrating excellent drafting ability, a quick turnaround time and a thorough knowledge of the legal process. I can definitely recommend Hunter Employee Relations to other employers.

Eight Enterprise Agreements across our Group – the process went very smoothly.
