This index is intended to assist in the identification of the correct names of industrial organisations registered under the Industrial Relations Act 1996. The key words are taken from the names of organisations currently registered under the Act and, in some cases, from the names of organisations that have been subsumed and de-registered on amalgamation. Several common acronyms, abbreviations and alternative names are also included. The keyword index does not attempt to set out the scope of membership coverage of organisations.
