Hearings before the Commission and Registrar are recorded.
A transcript of proceedings is produced whenever an award is being made or varied.
In all other matters a transcript of proceedings is produced only at the direction of the presiding member who will also decide if the transcript is to be restricted only to the parties.
If a transcript of proceedings is produced, a copy is provided without charge only to the parties who attended the hearing.
The Registry cannot provide anyone with a copy of any transcript of proceedings that has been produced by its service provider, Auscript Pty Ltd. If a transcript is not restricted to the parties, a copy can be ordered from Auscript Pty Ltd who will levy a charge for it.
Transcripts of proceedings that were produced by the Commission before the appointment of Auscript Pty Ltd in July 2001, if not restricted to the parties, can be perused at the Registry but if a copy is required the Registry will provide a copy and levy a charge for it.
