As a portal of the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Australian Workplace provides access to online services and information about employment, government assistance, jobs, careers, training and working conditions. It’s largely a collection of government policies and documents on workplace relations.

The homepage provides browsers with a ‘select a topic’ guide, which provides access to employment associations, information on sourcing employees, labour market information and wages and conditions, for example. Each section is broken down into useful sub-topics, which are worth exploring as they do contain a number of half-useful sources of HR-related information such as a breakdown of labour market developments, skill shortages and vacancy trends and evaluation and monitoring.

Bearing in mind Australian Workplace is a government site, any information other than dry policy or legal documents is pretty thin on the ground.

Navigation and design are practical and basic, with an in-depth sitemap making the job of getting round much easier. If you need to find out about any government-related workplace information, Australian Workplace is a good albeit rather unexciting starting point.
