FairWork Mate is an independent, privately owned Australian workplace-rights and compliance service for employees, employers and small businesses. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Fair Work Ombudsman, the Fair Work Commission or any Australian government agency. The platform makes workplace rules easier to understand, with information on pay, awards, leave, redundancy, dismissal and employer obligations.

Its tools include free calculators for take-home pay, superannuation, minimum wages, award rates, penalty rates, notice periods, redundancy and leave entitlements, plus payslip checks and award searches. Users can consult an AI advisor for answers informed by Australian workplace decisions, enterprise agreements and live data. For businesses, FairWork Mate provides compliance resources, pay guides, workplace data and safety tools covering incidents, hazards, psychosocial risks and workers’ compensation.

The service also publishes practical guides, articles, case summaries and workplace updates, and offers email alerts about pay changes and decisions. Its insights draw on government datasets and are updated regularly, helping users assess their rights and responsibilities with accessible, data-informed guidance.
