Time is running out! Slots at this year's Employment Law Masterclass Australia are filling fast, and this is one event HR leaders cannot afford to miss.
The Employment Law Masterclass Australia, taking place online on 19 August, is a one-day virtual event offering HR leaders a rare opportunity to hear directly from the country's leading employment lawyers.
The event comes amid substantial changes in Australia's employment law environment over the past 12 months. Wage theft is now a criminal offence, psychosocial safety obligations are being actively enforced by regulators, flexible work rights have been expanded, and Respect@Work positive duties are placing new proactive obligations on employers.
For HR teams still operating on old assumptions, the risks are real.
The masterclass promises to deliver practical, expert-led guidance on each of these pressure points. Attendees will hear from a faculty of senior employment lawyers covering the full breadth of today's compliance challenges.
Kate Pennicott of MinterEllison will unpack where underpayments most commonly occur and how to approach remediation before regulators come knocking, while Dentons partners Helene Lee and Angela Cartwright will offer practical frameworks for handling flexible work requests without legal exposure.
McCabes principal Melini Pillay will address the positive duty on sexual harassment and how to move Respect@Work obligations from policy into practice.
On psychosocial safety, ABLA senior associate Alana Rafter will walk through what inspectors are now focusing on and what HR must embed during restructures and complex mental health incidents.
Ashurst partner Peter McNulty will cover how the Secure Jobs, Better Pay reforms are being tested at the Fair Work Commission in 2026, and Lander & Rogers partner Adam Battagello will tackle best-practice protocols for legally defensible workplace investigations.
Beyond the sessions themselves, attendees will walk away with a post-event resource pack and can claim up to 5.25 CPD units for their participation.
The Employment Law Masterclass Australia takes place online on August 19. Standard individual and team passes are available. Secure your spot by registering here.
