Agency note
The Department of Employment and Industrial Relations [II], Regional Administration, Western Australia, was created on 7 May 1982. This new department inherited all functions from the abolished Department of Employment of Youth Affairs (CA 2762) and the Department of Industrial Relations.
 
In a press release the Prime Minister stated that:
 
   "Bringing together Employment and Industrial Relations highlights    again the close links between good industrial relations and    improvement in the employment situation".
 
In Western Australia all the functions of the newly created department were reflected in the Regional Administration.
 
On 11 March 1983 the office of Youth Affairs transferred to the newly created Department of Education and Youth Affairs. Regional changes are subject to further research.
 
As a result of the Administrative Arrangements Act of 1987, the former Departments of Employment and Industrial Relations and Education were amalgamated to form the new Department of Employment, Education and Training.
