It’s a constant issue for employers in the community sector – the need to juggle the demands of clients, funding bodies, and community stakeholders - and still be a good employer getting the best from employees.   

Because we are dealing with a complex industrial system, and every employee is different, it’s easy for problems to start out simple but then become difficult.  That’s when you need professional advice.  The wrong advice can cost not just a lot of money, but also time, energy and the reputation of your service.  That is why Jobs Australia established CSIR.

Our expert Industrial Relations Advisers are familiar with the various Federal and State industrial relations systems, and understand the workplace culture in the community sector. They can:

• help you to meet your obligations as an employer; and

• work with you to find timely and effective solutions to any industrial relations or human resource problems that might arise. 

We specialise in the community sector, and Jobs Australia is a not for profit community organisation itself.  We understand the challenges faced by volunteer committees of management, managing on a shoestring, and community sector values.  CSIR is provided by Jobs Australia to all kinds of community organisations throughout Australia.
