Suzanne,
As you have sound contracts aligned with the FWA, I think you are in position to indicate to employees: "with all the changes in employment legislation that the company needs contracts of employment that clearly spell out all the details (T&C's)".
Direct managers and supervisors are usually the people most trusted by employees. First convincing the managers and supervsors and responding to their concerns should produce a document that these people are happy to "sell" to their employees on your behalf.
The change process could include initial information sessions for employees setting the scene/background with details indicating no change or possible improvements/flexibility to conditions. I suggest you cost these benefits and discuss with the Line as sometimes they can be expensive and hard to manage in practice.
You didn't mention the salary range of the people involved or their actual work activities, but this is important as there are reports that the advent of the modern awards could see employees in IT not previously covered by awards caught in the net. This will have an impact on the contract of employment given to employees.
Regards Tasman
