Cameron’s research interest is labour law. His current research project is concerned with the extent to which the law can legitimately prevent a current or former employee from soliciting, enticing or otherwise encouraging one or many current or former colleagues to leave employment and enter into competition with the former employer. The project critiques trial and appellate court decisions in the United Kingdom and Australia, and seeks to better define the extent to which an employer should be able to regulate such employee competition.

Cameron’s previous research projects have had a particular focus on labour law as it applies in the Australian Public Service (APS). In late 2013 Cameron critiqued the Fair Work Act’s genuine redundancy exclusion as it applies in the APS, and argued for its reform. He has also examined (primarily with Michael O’Donnell of the University of New South Wales) APS enterprise bargaining under both Labor and Coalition governments. He has also analysed recent reforms to the Public Service Act 1999 (Cth).

Cameron is the ACT Chapter Convenor of the Australian Labour Law Association. Since 2009 he has organised scholarly seminars and conferences which aim to encourage discussion and debate concerning Australian and international labour law.
