If there is still no deal by then, the unions will completely stop work for two weeks.
Australia was the world's largest LNG exporter last year, shipping out 80.9 million metric tons of the fuel in 2022 versus 79 million tons in 2021, according to the International Gas Union.
A prolonged strike could disrupt exports and raise prices of LNG, which is used for electricity generation.
The same union alliance also secured agreements last year with Shell (SHEL.L) and Inpex (1605.T) at their LNG facilities in Western Australia.
