Since 1 January 2010, Western Australia is the only state that still has its own industrial laws for the private sector.

These laws set conditions such as minimum wages, leave entitlements, and maximum hours of work, and require a minimum wage for all workers. They also cover workplace agreements, unfair dismissal, record-keeping, and union right of entry.

WA state laws apply to all employers who do not operate through a company structure. Residential tenancy laws may also be relevant to your business.
