Government Agency entry Conciliation Committees (South Australia) (1967 - )

Summary

Industrial (or Wages) Boards which had operated since 1920, were reconstituted as Conciliation Committees as a result of the Industrial Code, 1967. Conciliation Committees with one of the Commissioners as chairman are appointed for a three year term by the Minister of Labour and Industry on the recommendation of the President and have the same jurisdiction in industrial matters as the Commission. If the process of conciliation before a committee fails, then the chairman sits as a Commissioner to determine the unresolved matters. The awards of the Committees operate as common rules in the industries concerned, but the awards of the Commission are binding only on the parties concerned, but the awards of the Commission are binding only on the parties before the Commission unless the Commission makes an order declaring the award a common rule.
