The NSW Industrial Relations telephone service and web enquiry service will shutdown from 12 midday on the 24th December, 2025 and will reopen at 9am on the 12th January, 2026. During this time workers can still send us an email enquiry, we will respond to that on our return.
If you have an active complaint being investigated, staff will be on leave during shut down, so they will respond to any correspondence upon their return.
