Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Australia (Ratification: 1975)

The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report. It requests the Government to provide further information on the points below.

Article 6. New South Wales. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not respond to the point raised in its previous comments concerning the status, salaries and conditions of service of the inspectors determined by the Statutory and Other Officers Remuneration Tribunal as these inspectors are employed on a contract basis (such as, Senior Executive Service contract). The Committee hopes that the Government will supply precise information on whether the stability of employment is assured for them.

Article 21. The Committee notes that the annual inspection reports of the states and territories supplied by the Government provide detailed information on the activities of the competent authorities. Noting however, that most of the reports do not always contain full information on each of the subjects set out in Article 21 of the Convention, the Committee hopes that future annual inspection reports will include such information.
