A Fair Work Inspector may enter premises without force, during working hours if:
- they believe the Fair Work Act 2009 or a Fair Work instrument (e.g. an award or agreement) applies to the workplace
- records or documents relevant to compliance are on the premises (including documents on a computer).
The Fair Work Inspector must give you their name and show their identity card to you or your representative as soon as they can.
They must not enter any residential premises, unless they reasonably believe people work there.
