Research Database Subscriptions
The Industrial Relations Information Service (IRIS) provides an extensive research database that enables full text searching on documents of the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission. These documents have been categorised as follows:
- Awards (including associated amendments and correction of errors)
- Agreements (i.e. Certified Agreements, Industrial Agreements and Enterprise Flexibility Agreements)
- Decisions (including General Rulings, Judgments, Statements of Policy and Interpretations)
- Orders
- Notices
