Australian Institute of Employment Rights

Our Work

The Australian Institute of Employment Rights (AIER) works in a variety of ways.

A respected think tank, it is a leader in the development of informed, contemporary and balanced ideas in the area of workplace rights.

It is place of research, working with its team of leading academics, legal experts and industrial relations practitioners to undertake substantial research and analysis that aims to offer new ideas and models for decent and efficient workplaces.

AIER is an influential and sensible voice in the area of workplace legislation, contributing significantly to the development and improvement of Australian policy and towards legislative reform.

As a trainer, educator and moderator, AIER works on-the-ground with organisations, workers and their representatives to create more positive and efficient workplace models and environments.  AIER collaborates with like-minded organisations to develop and implement programs that educate and empower. It is also a resource for community organisations, educational institutions, the media and the general public.

AIER is an advocate and agitator, championing the fundamental rights of employers, workers and the public interest, and arguing for the importance of cultural change in workplaces to ensure decent and fair conditions for all.
