Members are able to access important information on their workplace relations obligations through a hotline support service and online via HRNet, which hosts minimum wage summaries and other fact sheets relevant to the hire and rental industry.
State meetings are held regularly together with Supplier Nights and Training Days where suppliers and rental members can meet and view new products.
