IRSV - Voices of IR 2026 - Reconciliation in IR

60 years since the Aboriginal Stockmen's Case and while disadvantage for First Nations employment remains a challenge, the 2025 gender undervaluation case shows a pathway for change.

Proudly presenting our third webinar for 2026 - part of a dynamic year-long professional development program.

Free for IRSV members and members or interstate ALERA affiliates, Reconciliation in IR, is a thought-provoking event marking 60 years since the landmark Aboriginal Stockmen's Case - a defining moment in Australia's industrial and social history.  More recently in another landmark case, gender-based undervaluation principles have been used to correct low pay for First Nations women health workers. 

We’ll reflect on the legacy of these pivotal cases and explore their impact on workers' rights and equality, and examine how they continue to shape the journey towards reconciliation in industrial relations today.

Welcoming panellists Professor Nareen Young of UTS Business School, Jumbunna Institute and the Fair Work Commission’s DP Alex Grayson.

Join us online on Tuesday 4 August 2026, from 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm AEST, via Zoom. Book online at www.irsv.asn.au/.
