Historical Trends data – Approved by quarter

Historical report containing data about the number of enterprise agreements approved in each quarter in the federal workplace relations system, as well as data about the number of employees covered and the level of wage increases included in collective agreements.

All estimates are rounded and subject to revision. In the September quarter 2025, technological updates to the Workplace Agreements Database introduced minor methodological tweaks to certain fields. This mainly affects the employee and AAWI statistics and means that results published prior to the September quarter 2025 will not be directly comparable with results calculated afterwards. All historical figures have been recalculated according to this new method so that a consistent data series is available.
