Workplace
relations in Australia are governed by both federal and state legislation.
The federal Government is in the process of establishing a national
workplace relations system. The State of Victoria is covered by the federal
system.
In the past, Australia had a highly interventionist workplace relations
system. Governments established industrial tribunals to assist in resolving
disputes between employers and employees. On the federal level, this
tribunal is the Australian Industrial Relations Commission.
There has been a marked change in the focus of the Australian workplace
relations system in recent years, with a move away from a reliance on
external intervention, and towards encouraging employers and employees to
reach agreements at the workplace or enterprise level.
It is
strongly recommended to consult a Workplace Relations Practitioner before
engaging in any business activity involving employment. |
