Indigenous employment

Labour Relations Education Services is currently developing education initiatives to assist indigenous employers and employees in understanding their workplace rights and obligations.

Labour Relations Education Services provides a range of services for indigenous employers and employees, including telephone advice, one-on-one meetings, informal group forums and seminars on request.

Education Services aims to deliver employment related information in partnership with a range of organisations, including community resource centres, regional TAFE colleges as well as indigenous employment programs.

The key aims are to assist indigenous workers:

  1. Access relevant employment information
  2. Have a better understanding of their employment rights
  3. Develop confidence in applying for paid work
  4. Build and maintain positive employment relationships
