The Fair Work Ombudsman is an independent statutory office within the government administration sector, based in Sydney, New South Wales. Operating under the Fair Work Act 2009, it seeks to foster workplace relations that are harmonious, productive, cooperative, and compliant for workers and employers across Australia, with services provided at no cost. As a mid-to-large government agency, it maintains a staffing capacity to support nationwide guidance, compliance, and enforcement of workplace laws. The organization offers information and assistance through its website and official channels, including resources for small businesses and a dedicated helpline, while advising against seeking case-specific advice via social media. It regularly develops guidance for employers, with a notable recent development being the March 2026 launch of a Guide to Labour Hire and Supply Chains. The Fair Work Ombudsman serves the Australian labor market from its Sydney base, delivering services nationwide.
