Authorisation windowEndedabout 27 Sept 2025
Protected action has to start within 30 days of the result being declared, though the FWC can extend that.
Reported action is only tracked while a ballot's authorisation window is open, so this page doesn't say whether action followed. For that, check the union's own updates or contact them.
