  Please join us on Wednesday 19th March for our Patrons Event for 2025.
  Our ALERA SA Patron, the Hon Greg Stevens will address members on the big-ticket industrial issues that he thinks will feature in the upcoming federal election campaign and the next term of government.

  The event will commence at 4.30pm for registration with the Presentation commencing at 5:00-5:45pm, with cocktails and drinks to follow.
  Venue:  Electra House, 131- 139 King Williams Street Adelaide.
  

  The Event will be in person at Electra House, however online attendance will be available. "
  Online attendees please note: This is an event to enable members to gather and recognise the ongoing contribution of our Patron, The Hon. Greg Stevens. It is intended that Greg will talk for about half an hour only, to allow a longer than usual time for networking and refreshments after. In person attendance is strongly recommended for that reason.

  ALERA Webinar 1 : Jurisdictional elements to bring an unfair dismissal claim
  

  ALERA, in conjunction with State and Territory societies, is excited to launch the 2025 National Professional Development Program, featuring a series of four lunchtime masterclasses on Unfair Dismissal. These webinars are free for all industrial relations society members.

  We invite you to join us for the first session in March, presented by Commissioner Mark Perica AM, on the jurisdictional elements of bringing an unfair dismissal claim. The session will include a live Q&A, providing an opportunity for members to engage directly with the Commissioner.

  When: Friday, 28 March
  Where: Zoom Webinar (Online)
  Time: 1:00 – 2:00 PM (AEDT)
  Cost: Complimentary for all IRS members nationally

  Commissioner Mark Perica AM graduated from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Jurisprudence in 1986 and a Bachelor of Laws in 1987, later earning a Master of Arts from the University of Melbourne (1994) and a Master of Laws from Monash University (1996).

  His legal career began at Mallesons Stephen Jaques in Perth, where he practiced across various areas before focusing on industrial and employment law. He later worked at Freehill Hollingdale & Page and Gill Kane & Brophy, advising and representing employers, workers, and unions.

  In 1993, he joined the AMWU as a National Industrial Officer, advocating for members before industrial courts and tribunals. He was called to the Victorian Bar in 1996, where he continued practicing in industrial and employment law.

  In 1998, he became Senior Legal Officer for the CPSU’s Federal Office, holding the role for 24 years. He played a key role in advocacy, negotiations, and complex industrial proceedings across Commonwealth and State tribunals.

  Commissioner Perica has also been actively involved in major policy and law reform, working closely with senior ACTU officers and serving as an ACTU nominee on the Committee of Industrial Legislation. His contributions have shaped key legislative reforms, including the Work Choices legislation, the Fair Work Act 2009, and the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022.
