Expert advice

Our specialty is providing professional practical advice and assistance to CEOs, managers and supervisors in the difficult area of workplace relations but particularly in industrial relations.

The industrial laws are very complex and it is important that you can understand the implication of your decisions and whether those decisions could result in fines or penalties. To make sure that your business or organisation is complying with the new industrial relations laws, it is vital you have an Industrial Relations Business Audit.

This means that you will be able to have peace of mind knowing that your business or organisation is complying with the new industrial relations laws, and you avoid any fines for failing to comply.
