Working conditions
Ships registered on the AISR are required to have a collective agreement with the seafarers bargaining unit. This agreement may be based on the ITF whole of crew collective agreement which is provided at the link below.
In addition the minimum wages and minimum requirement for compensation insurance have been established by ministerial determination. For links to these determinations visit the AMSA legislation page.
