The BCA stands for productive, inclusive, flexible, and diverse workplaces that create high-wage, high-productivity jobs and a more diverse economy. 

The challenge facing both government and the private sector now is to ensure that the rate of unemployment remains low while productivity increases in the face of global economic headwinds. 

Reform to the workplace relations system must therefore be based on the following principles to enable wages to increase sustainably: people are fully employed, businesses are growing and becoming more productive and we are transitioning the economy for the industries of the future in a decarbonised world.

There is no place for exploitation of any kind in any workplace, but we need absolute clarity from the government about the problem we are trying to solve.

Businesses are ready to work with the government constructively where we can deliver solutions that leave Australian businesses and workers better off.

As Australians face a soaring cost of living crisis, we must avoid own goals like workplace relations changes that leave our feet stuck in the cement of complexity and disruption.
