Historical Role of The Australian Industrial Relations Commission
Throughout the years from 1904 to 2006 the Australian Industrial Relations Commission created Awards which set the minimum terms and conditions of employment for people who worked for certain employers. A standard Award would have approximately 20-30 conditions and would be around 40 pages in length. The Awards were periodically reviewed.
The Australian Industrial Relations Commission would also certify enterprise bargaining agreements. These agreements were negotiation collective contracts commonly between a union (as representative of the employees on the site) and an employer of a site.
The Australian Industrial Relations Commission also registered trade unions and dealt with demarcation disputes between unions.
Finally the Australian Industrial Relations Commission dealt with unfair dismissal applications.
