Queensland Industrial Gazette ceases publication

The last Queensland Industrial Gazette was issued on 23 October 2009.

The Queensland Industrial Relations Commission (QIRC) website is now the official publisher of decisions, awards, agreements, orders and other documents of the Industrial Court of Queensland (ICQ), the QIRC and the Industrial Registrar. Amendments to the Industrial Relations Act 1999 ensure that a document, decision etc. published on the QIRC website is admissible as evidence of the document in Court proceedings.[see s. 680 of the Act]

For a list of decisions from 23 October, see http://www.qirc.qld.gov.au/published/index.htm

The Industrial Gazette was also used by a number of agencies and organisations to publish important industrial notices - these will now be published in the Queensland Government Gazette.
