The Supplier Wage Audit (SWA) unit of the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) proactively monitors and audits the compliance of ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ suppliers with employment obligations under applicable industrial laws and instruments and enhances sector-wide capability in assessing compliance with employment obligations.
State Agencies are required to insert clauses in contract documentation to ensure SWA has the authority to audit government suppliers.
The Department of Finance has published a Supplier Wage Audit Model Clause to assist State Agencies with implementing these requirements within agency specific contract documentation. Please note, these clauses were added to the procurement templates managed by Finance in November 2022.
