Dear Colleagues,

I am truly honoured to serve as President of the Industrial Relations Society of Queensland (IRSQ) for this term. Having been a part of this esteemed organization for several years, I am excited to lead our community as we continue to advance the field of industrial relations in Queensland.

Since its inception, the IRSQ has played a pivotal role in shaping industrial relations as a discipline, fostering collaboration among professionals from various sectors. Our Society thrives on creating a vibrant platform for thought leadership and networking, where diverse perspectives are welcomed and valued.

Our membership includes a wide array of professionals, from academics and government officials to HR practitioners, union representatives, students, lawyers, and consultants. Together, we enrich the dialogue surrounding industrial relations and contribute to the ongoing development of our field.

In this term, my focus will be on expanding our membership base and enhancing our event offerings to provide even greater value to our members. I believe that by building on our recent successes, we can strengthen our community and further our mission. I look forward to working closely with the Management Committee as we meet regularly to discuss our initiatives and address important matters related to industrial relations and membership engagement.

The IRSQ is proud to be affiliated with the Australian Labour and Employment Relations Association, linking us with organizations across the country and similar international bodies. I encourage you all to participate in our events, engage in discussions, and embrace the opportunities available to you as members of the IRSQ.

If you have any feedback or would like to contribute to an IRSQ event, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Your input is invaluable as we work together to strengthen our Society.

Kind regards,

Faiyaz Devjee

President

Industrial Relations Society of Queensland
