Section 333VFair Work Act 2009 (Cth)

Dealing with disputes in other ways

If an application made under subsection 333N(3) for the FWC to deal with a dispute does not consist solely of an application for an order under section 333P:

(a) the FWC must deal with the dispute; and

(b) if the parties notify the FWC that they agree to the FWC arbitrating the dispute—the FWC may deal with the dispute by arbitration.

Note: For the purposes of paragraph (a), the FWC may deal with the dispute as it considers appropriate, including by mediation, conciliation, making a recommendation or expressing an opinion (see subsection 595(2)). See section 333P if the application also includes an application for an order under that section.
