Employment and Labour Relations Law
Major shifts in laws governing the workplace and labour force in Australia and internationally mean that understanding the regulatory framework pertaining to employment and labour relations practices is more important than ever.
Employment and labour relations law is ideal for legal practitioners, the public sector, corporate management and human resources/personnel services, trade unions and employer groups. This specialisation caters for legal practitioners as well as non-lawyers with experience and interest in the legal regulation of employment and labour relations. In-depth analysis of recent developments in this complex and evolving area ensures the program remains at the forefront of legal knowledge in this field. The subject Principles of Employment Law is designed to be of particular assistance to students without previous (or recent) legal study in the area.
The extensive range of employment and labour relations law subjects engages with up-to-the-minute developments and cutting-edge thinking in Australia and internationally.
