Australian Enterprise Agreement Document

Detects Australian enterprise agreement and enterprise bargaining content under the Fair Work Act 2009 - agreement text and drafts (single-enterprise and greenfields agreements, nominal expiry, better off overall test), Fair Work Commission agreement codes (AE followed by six digits), and bargaining process artefacts (notice of employee representational rights, protected action ballots, logs of claims).

Confidence justification

Medium confidence: the statutory terms of art (NERR, protected action ballot, BOOT, greenfields agreement) and the AE-number code rarely occur outside genuine enterprise-agreement material, but approved agreements are public documents and HR/legal explainers use the same vocabulary. Corroboration distinguishes live bargaining and annotated drafts from published text.

Should match

• the proposed enterprise agreement will be lodged with the Fair Work Commission after the access period — Enterprise agreement with Fair Work context
• Coralstone Energy Corporation Limited Enterprise Agreement approved - print reference AE523847 — FWC approved-agreement code
• a notice of employee representational rights was issued to all affected employees on Monday — Statutory NERR bargaining artefact
• the union lodged a protected action ballot application covering the operations crew — Protected industrial action artefact
• the greenfields agreement for the new facility includes a revised classification structure — Agreement type term of art

Should not match

• our enterprise agreement with the cloud vendor covers premium support tiers — Commercial enterprise agreement in the software-licensing sense
• the team reached an agreement on the project timeline after the workshop — Generic agreement prose
• bargaining for a better price at the markets is expected — Bargaining outside the industrial-relations sense

Known false positives

• Approved enterprise agreements are public on the FWC register, and HR guidance, law-firm updates and union newsletters use the same statutory vocabulary without containing bargaining positions. Mitigation: Corroborate with negotiation-sensitive keywords (log of claims, without prejudice, in-principle, rates of pay) before enforcing; treat the bare agreement-text arms as discovery/audit signals.
