A massive database of family-friendly music will be available for the under-18s, although parents can join their kids in song as well.

The event will provide a welcoming space for children, and will be curated so all attendees get a turn behind the microphone.

Disability support services inquiry

The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched an inquiry into compliance with workplace laws in the disability support services sector.

The inquiry’s main objective is to identify drivers of non-compliance so as to make a positive impact on business behaviour.

Its first phase, which will take about 18 months, will involve the FWO engaging nationwide to speak with workers, managers, directors, digital platform providers and clients who require disability support services about their workplace experiences within the sector, and assessing whether minimum entitlements relating to wages and conditions are being met.

Do you wish to share insights of your workplace for the inquiry? Check out tinyurl.com/4vyt3v3c for details on the various opportunities to share.

Employers and employees can visit fairwork.gov.au or call the Fair Work Infoline on 131 394 for free advice and assistance about rights and obligations in the workplace. An interpreter service is available on 131 450.
