Employment and Labour Relations Law

Major shifts in laws governing the workplace and labour force in Australia mean there is a growing need for knowledge and analysis of employment and labour relations law. Melbourne Law School's graduate program in employment and labour relations law is ideal for legal practitioners, the public sector, private management and personnel services, trade unions and employer groups.

Our program caters for legal practitioners in the field, as well as non-lawyers with experience and interest in the legal regulation of employment and labour relations. The subject Principles of Employment Law is designed to be of particular assistance to students without previous (or recent) legal study in the area.

Subjects in the program cover issues relating to minimum labour standards, enterprise bargaining, discrimination, and health and safety. 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.
