Workplace Relations in 2025

REGISTRATIONS NOW OPEN

Melbourne 18 Feb | Sydney 20 Feb | Brisbane 25 Feb

 

Register now for Ai Group's one-day workplace relations conferences in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane this February 2025.

These events are your chance to stay ahead of the latest developments in workplace relations and health and safety.

Recent years have seen waves of significant regulatory changes that have created a raft of compliance challenges for industry. In many respects the implications of the changes are being progressively revealed as regulatory bodies implement the amendments and unions respond to the new environment.

The conference will provide practical and expert insights from Ai Group’s WR and WHS team, regulators and employers in order to equip attendees to navigate the evolving landscape. It will also provide an opportunity to engage with other employers over the current challenges.

This key event will provide your organisation with practical insights to navigate the new and emerging issues facing industry.

 

Topics to be covered include:

• A presentation from the office of the Fair Work Ombudsman on their evolving approach to enforcement in the context of the new wage theft jurisdiction 
• A Fair Work Commission presentation covering the new legislative framework and jurisdictions applying to contractors, with a particular focus on the regulated workers and unfair contracts jurisdictions
• An overview of the workplace relations regulatory and policy environment, including potential implications of the upcoming election
• An update on major proceedings and test cases that will impact members 
• Important developments in the enterprise bargaining sphere and an overview of recent labour market outcomes
• Recent developments in the diversity, equity and inclusion sphere, including proposed new 'gender equality targets'
• Challenges of dealing with integrated obligations relating to Respect@Work and the management of psychosocial safety in accordance with WHS laws

 

You will also have the opportunity to hear from members about their experiences with implementing and operating under the recent workplace relations changes.
