Description

The workplace and employment law specialisation provides students with an in-depth knowledge of individual and collective labour law. This specialisation aims to develop knowledge of workplace, employment, discrimination and labour rights law, and to address issues of globalisation and organisational change and the interpretation and operation of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)..

This specialisation is relevant to both lawyers and non-lawyers. It is relevant to lawyers who already work in the area and to those who aim to work in the workplace field.

For non-lawyers working in law-related fields (including industrial relations practitioners, human resource practitioners, industrial officers, management personnel, policy makers) this specialisation offers a formal course of education to gain an advanced level of knowledge in the global workforce. The topics covered in the diverse units include collective bargaining agreements, individual employment contracts, industrial action, unfair dismissal, modern awards and national employment standards, occupational health and safety, electronic workplace law, international labour law and discrimination in the workplace.
