FWA is the government body that replaced the industrial relations act. As far as content, I think it remains the same as industrial relations, which concerns wages, contracts and Industrial disputes. AWA's are less popular today, there has been a move to enterprise agreements - employees and trade unions are involved in wage negotiations.

I was under the impression that AWAs are illegal now?

So it could be said that individual negotiation is still applicable in some circumstances providing the 10 standards apply?
