Workplace Relations

UWU-ADIA Industry Agreement 2023-2026

The UWU and ADIA Market and Social Research Industry Agreement 2023-2026 has been approved by the Fair Work Commission and is now operating as a statutory enterprise agreement.

ADIA has worked for well over two decades to ensure that the market and social research industry has a stable workplace relations system that is fair and equitable to both employers and employees. Since the first Industry Agreement was negotiated in the late 1990s, these agreements have provided a ‘level playing field’ for members and have resulted in a generally co-operative relationship between the industry and the union movement.  Industrial disputation has been minimal. 


The current wage rates for 2026-27 are available here. 

All other terms and conditions in the Agreement were effective from 1 September 2022 onward.

For further information, ADIA employers can contact Andrew Maher, Partner, The People Puzzle, on 0403 399 237 or Sarah Campbell, CEO, on 0460 012 092.
