Ballot and access period details

The ballot will open at 8am on Wednesday 17 May and close at 3pm on Friday 19 May (AEST). BOQ colleagues will have one week to review the proposal and the full draft of the EA – this is a legal requirement under the Fair Work Act and is known as the ‘access period’. Voting will be conducted by an external third party and you will receive instructions on how to vote closer to the date.
