With the increasing lack of specialist Industrial Relations practitioners in Australia, Rivercity Consulting in partnership with D9 Consulting, commenced the Industrial Relations Training Academy in March 2011. Offering comprehensive and intensive courses designed to empower HR and Management/Executive Teams, the Industrial Relations Training Academy should be your first stop for specialist Industrial Relations training.

Courses include:

Effective Negotiation Skills
Mediation for Managers
Workplace Investigations
Defending Unfair Dismissal Claims
Performance Management
Effective Handling of Discipline
Union Relationship Management

In addition to these, the academy now has available a complete package course for overseas HR representatives, or Australian HR reps that want to brush up on their IR knowledge.

The course covers core pieces of australian employment legislation.

Fair Work Act 2009
Australian Building and Construction Industry Improvement Act 2005
(including the 2009 amendment bill)
Small Business Fair Dismissal Code
Principles of Natural Justice/Procedural Fairness
Modernised Awards
National Employment Standards

Upon attaining RTO registration, future courses will include Cert IV in Training and Assessment, OHS courses, and Certificate IV in Government (Investigation), so stay tuned for details of these courses in the coming months.
