IPART Joint Consultative Committee Meeting.
21 March 2023
Your union and local delegates attended the first Joint Consultative Committee for 2023 on 23 February. At the meeting, the following items were discussed:
- Your new É«ÀÇÉçÇøOrganizer Mel Ciraolo was introduced. Mel will work with local delegates Lil and Felicity on É«ÀÇÉçÇøinformation for the staff induction booklet.
- Management advised that they were still determining a response about the recording of Tribunal hearings and publication on youtube as raised in the previous JCC.
- The COVID-19 Vaccination Policy has been replaced with an Illness Prevention Strategy.
- Policies cued for review include the Flexible Work policy and the Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy. Consultation with the É«ÀÇÉçÇøand staff will occur.
- Mandatory training – these are the sector-wide annual training requirements – IPART has been scheduling them on a quarterly rather than a monthly basis.
- É«ÀÇÉçÇødelegates questioned whether IPART had done a review on the quality of air conditioning in the offices in the context of the circulation of covid or other viruses. IPART confirmed that the correct filters have been put in place and will check if recent testing has happened.
