WELCOME TO YOUR IRS NSW WEBSITE
The Industrial Relations Society of NSW (IRSNSW) is your professional association. Founded in 1958, it is the oldest such association in Australia and I am proud to be the IRSNSW President in 2019
The IRSNSW exists to encourage education and research in the field and to provide members with opportunities to network, to learn and to develop skills as industrial relations practitioners and to advance the community of industrial relations experts. The Society has over 260 members including academics, state and federal government HR and IR practitioners, union officials, students, lawyers, advocates and consultants and tribunal members.
The benefits of IRSNSW membership include:
Ready access to information about current developments in industrial relations, both national and international, through its regular newsletter, The IR Advocate, and through the Journal of Industrial Relations.
Receiving the Journal of Industrial Relations (JIR) five times per year, The JIR is an internationally recognised academic journal and is ranked in the top ten industrial relations journals in the world.
Invitations to regular activities for members and invited guests. These include professional development days, information seminars and conferences featuring guest speakers on topics of interest to the industrial relations community.
The Society provides an ideal forum to meet informally with others who are active participants in the field, or who have a major interest in the area, in the spirit of exchanging ideas and exploring experiences.
The Society's Management Committee meets monthly to discuss activities of the Society, as well as general industrial relations and membership matters. The Committee is made up of representatives from private practice, government, unions, employer organisations, the tertiary sector and the legal fraternity.

The IRSNSW Management Committee members regularly attend and participate in national Executive meetings which ensure an ongoing and smooth exchange of information between the society organisations.
