DENTAL DISPUTE - COMMISSIONER'S RECOMMENDATIONS

Commissioner Doyle's recommendations from this week's voluntary conference at the South Australian Industrial Relations Commission are here.

In summary the Commissioner did not consider that Public Service Association (PSA) members were constrained by the “no further claims” clause in the 2006 Enterprise Agreement.

The issue regarding an appropriate classification structure to deal with retention and recruitment of dentists should be able to be resolved and the government should make a substantive response to the PSA by Thursday 19 July 2007. On the basis that a substantive response will be made by that date the PSA offered to recommend to its members that all current bans and limitations be lifted whilst PSA is awaiting that response.
