NSW moves to national industrial relations system
February 9th, 2010
NSW will join the national industrial relations system from next year, cutting red tape for more than 200,000 of the State’s mall businesses and charities.
Following negotiations with the Commonwealth, the NSW Government has agreed to participate in the national IR system, Fair Work Australia.
The decision means that, from January 2010, the Commonwealth’s Fair Work Act will cover every employer and employee in the private sector in NSW. About half a million workers in the private sector in NSW will come under the umbrella of the national IR system from next year.
The decision includes the following arrangements:
- Seven members of the NSW Industrial Relations Commission will be appointed to Fair Work Australia;
- Fair Work Australia will be located in the Hunter and the Illawarra as well as Sydney; and
- The Fair Work Ombudsman and the NSW Office of Industrial Relations will work together for a period of 3½ years to ensure that employers and employees know their rights and responsibilities in the national system.
The NSW Government will introduce an urgent Bill into Parliament for the referral of industrial relations powers to the Commonwealth.

GreenSkills apprenticeships and traineeships
February 9th, 2010
GreenSkills is an initiative of WPC Group, a leading provider of apprentices and trainees. It aims to address skills shortages and skills deficiencies facing organisations that provide goods or services and/or need to meet government policy, tendering and supply chain objectives.
The program is supported by the NSW Department of Education and Training and is the first group training program targeting the ‘green economy’ and helping to ‘green’ the mainstream economy.
It recognises that the ‘green economy’ has particular skill needs that may require special training or experience or even special people. It also provides opportunities to GreenSkill all job roles and all staff ready for a sustainable business future.
WPC Group provides apprentices and trainees and looks after on-costs such as payroll, WorkCover and on-going training and mentoring. ‘Host employers’ pay a single monthly invoice.
