Reminder: Sunsetting of Pre-2010 Agreements (Zombie Agreements) 7 Dec 2023

Sunsetting of Pre-2010 Agreements (Zombie Agreements) - 7 Dec 2023

We wanted to remind you that as of 7 December 2023, 'Zombie Agreements' will be automatically terminated. 

What is a Zombie Agreement?

The Fair Work Act of 2009 didn’t fully commence until 1 January 2010. Consequently any agreements made prior to 2010 that are still in effect today are referred to as Zombie Agreements. However, as explained in more detail here, many of these agreements no longer apply to anyone or have been replaced by enterprise agreements or modern awards. 

You can find a list of pre-2010 agreements, as well as what to do if you have one, and other relevant information directly from Fair Work. 

Need help?

If you have any Zombie Agreements, and would like help from our team on switching over to an enterprise agreement or modern award, please fill out some details and we can book in a time to walk you through it.
