providing strategic policy and legislative advice on labour relations matters to the State Government;
providing a framework of labour relations laws that ensure employees receive their correct entitlements;
ensuring compliance with industrial awards and agreements;
providing information and advice on a range of employment matters;
coordinating public sector labour relations; and
providing advice, consultancy and advocacy services.
