The Department of Industrial Relations offers programs in occupational health and safety, industrial relations and employment relations. People management skills are an essential part of effective management, as people make the difference between an organisation's success or failure.

Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management (often combined as Employment Relations) provide the tools people management specialists need to effectively manage people within organisations.

High school students in year 11 or 12 are invited to enter our 2008 Industrial Relations essay competition.
