Message from the Industrial Relations Commission

The Commission, in consultation with the Sheriff’s office, have reviewed the security arrangements in place at the Commission in Parramatta and made some changes. These changes include the activation of the walk-through metal detector and the use of a hand-held metal detector by the Sheriff’s officers. Persons attending the Commission premises at Parramatta, including the Registry staff, will be required to submit to the metal detectors. Exemptions apply pursuant to the Court Security Act 2005 for judicial officers, Sheriff’s officers, and custodial officers in full uniform who have lawful custody of a person at the time.

Parties and representatives may wish to arrive at the Commission a little earlier than their listed time to ensure that they are not late for any matters.
