Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This declaration ensures that former employees of two related food companies—Rosella Foods Pty Ltd and Rosella Food Holdco Pty Ltd—can access the government's Fair Entitlements Guarantee (FEG) scheme after the companies went into administration (a form of insolvency where external administrators take control to try to save the business or wind it up).

What this means:

The FEG scheme acts as a government safety net, paying workers certain unpaid entitlements (such as wages, annual leave, and redundancy pay) when their employer goes broke and cannot afford to pay them.
This declaration specifically extends the FEG Act to cover employees of these two Rosella companies, which were placed in receivership and administration.
It ensures there is no doubt that these specific workers are covered by the scheme during the administration process, allowing them to claim money owed to them by the insolvent companies.
