The Office of Industrial Relations (OIR) is the NSW Government agency responsible for regulating employment rights, obligations and conditions in NSW. The OIR also plays an influential role in educating the community about employment issues and in providing expert industrial relations advice to Government.

In summary, the OIR strives to make NSW workplaces fairer, more innovative, flexible and responsive to the needs of employers and employees.

A selection of NSW Government submissions, recent decisions and test cases are linked below to help guide employees and employers.
