|

| Function: Regulatory Body | ||
| Location: New South Wales | ||
| The Court of Arbitration in New South Wales was established by the Industrial Arbitration Act of 1901. It was a court of record constituted by a president (a Supreme Court judge) and two members representing employers and employees respectively. The Court had jurisdiction to hear and determine any industrial dispute or matter referred to it by an industrial union or the Registrar, prescribe a minimum wage and make orders or awards pursuant to such hearing or determination. This Court and its registry, the Industrial Arbitration Office, came under the administration of the Department of Attorney-General and of Justice from 12 December 1901. Appeals as to matters of jurisdiction were to the Supreme Court of New South Wales and then to the High Court of Australia. The functions of the Court of Arbitration were eventually assumed by the Court of Industrial Arbitration in 1912. |
