Defend your rights to be your own boss.
Australians deserve the right to be their own boss
New industrial relation laws could mean trouble for you and thousands of other Australian workers. To tie up the ability to work effectively doesn’t just have a negative impact on Australian families, it has a negative impact on the entire nation.
Independent contractors and subcontractors deserve the right to be their own boss – these new proposed IR changes mean Australians won’t have the freedom to choose the hours they work, the projects they work on, or negotiate their own fees and conditions. Instead, you could be forced to become an employee.
This proposal at its very heart undervalues the core of Australian traditions and beliefs – a fair go for everyone.
Contractors have worked hard to establish their business, build strong relationships, and enjoy the freedom to choose how they operate, but ‘employee-like’ conditions will put an end to this. The government’s decision is a short-sighted one that will negatively impact hundreds of thousands of Australians.

These new workplace laws will not only take away freedoms to work when and when you want, it will make it more expensive for tradies to build homes, schools and roads, impacting all of us.

New industrial relations laws spell trouble for independent contractors and subcontractors.
These proposed laws mean you may be caught up ‘employee-like’ changes, which take away your right to be your own boss by being forced to become an employee.
Master Builders Australia is hosting an urgent webinar on Tuesday 4 July from 4.30pm – 5.30pm AEST.
The government is making it harder for independent contractors and self-employed tradies to be their own boss.
New industrial relations laws spell trouble for hundreds of thousands of hardworking Aussies and threaten their ability to perform their jobs effectively, impacting not only them but also the entire nation.
These proposed laws mean independent contractors and subbies will be caught up ‘employee-like’ changes meaning they could no longer be able to be their own boss by being forced to become an employee. This means they lose the freedom to choose the hours they work, the projects they work on, who they work for and negotiate their own fees and conditions.
This unfairness undermines the principles that have long been fundamental to Australian values.
Contractors have worked hard to establish their businesses, build strong relationships, and enjoy the freedom to choose how they operate. Working long hours and facing unpredictable schedules is a reality, but being independent grants them the power to decide when and how they work.
The government is threatening to strip contractors of their hard-earned independence, and they deserve better.
These laws are completely inconsistent with the long-held concepts that underpin the workplace relations system. It’s time to take action and stand up for their rights.
It represents one of the most significant and real attacks on the rights of self-employed and independent contractors.
We all know Aussies including in the building and construction industry are doing it tough at the moment and these changes introduce uncertainty, commercial risk, and negative consequences for the community and consumers. At a time of high inflation, high interest rates and disruptions, do we really to make it even harder for people to work?
