Action not confirmed. A successful ballot only authorises action. We mark it as reported once a source says it happened.

Authorisation windowEndedabout 16 Apr 2026
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.
