7.2 Monitoring compliance
Government agencies and other signatories as clients
Government agencies and other signatories will monitor the application of this Code as part of their mainstream business activities. Each agency or other signatory will also:
- establish internal coordination procedures for managing Code matters
- establish mechanisms to ensure prompt response to concerns or complaints
- establish and advertise a central point of contact.
Department of Employment Training and Industrial Relations
Government agencies and other signatories may seek assistance from the Department of Employment,
Training and Industrial Relations in assessing whether there has been non-compliance with industrial awards or relevant industrial, workplace health and safety and workers compensation legislation.
Yearly reports provided by government agencies and other signatories as required by this code to this Department will be used to randomly select service providers for a general inspection by an Industrial Inspector.
All breaches of this code detected during that general inspection will be reported to the government agency or other signatory who must then decide on the appropriate sanction to impose on that service provider in accordance with this code.
The agency or other signatory must then advise the Chief Industrial Inspector, Department of Employment, Training and Industrial Relations in writing of what sanctions have been imposed within three months of the report by the Industrial Inspector.
