About WERP |
New workplace relations laws were introduced by the Australian Government on 27 March 2006. 'WorkChoices' was the name the Government used to describe these changes until May 2007 when the brand was dropped because of successful union and community campaigns.
Without a doubt, the laws represent a major shift in the way employment conditions are set in Australia. The NSW Government responded immediately and funded (via the Office for Women, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet) the Inner City Legal Centre to run a significant 12-month project focused on women's employment rights.
The Women's Employment Rights Project (WERP) provides legal advice, information and training to community advocates across NSW. At the same time, WERP monitors the impact of the current workplace relations system on NSW women particularly in the areas of unfair/unlawful dismissals, Australian workplace agreements and discrimination.
