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.

A question passes if more than half of the valid votes were yes. † Read from chart images in the FWC notice, so check the notice for the official figures.
