State of Working Victoria Project

The State of Working Victoria Project is a comprehensive source of information about the working arrangements of Victorian employees and the work practices at Victorian workplaces. It is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of this information in Victoria since the publication of Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey in 1995.

In 2002, Industrial Relations Victoria (IRV) commissioned ACIRRT to undertake a comprehensive survey of Victorian employers (based on workplaces) and employees (based on households) in order to provide an overview of the state of work in Victoria.

The State of Working Victoria: Household Survey asked Victorian households a range of questions related to their working lives.

The State of Working Victoria: Employer Survey was conducted at the same time and directed a range of questions to Victorian employers about their workplaces. Apart from the agriculture and mining industries, all workplaces with five or more employees were eligible for inclusion.

Eight information papers have been prepared by IRV based on the State of Working Victoria data. Each paper includes a full Report and an Executive Summary.

The search results below show all the papers arising from the study. Further search categories are also available.
