Our annual employment law conference (held at the Gold Coast in August every year) draws HR professionals and employment lawyers from across the country. It is one of our most popular conferences and that is why we are repeating this event in Melbourne in February 2020 for all those who couldn’t get to the Gold Coast. This year’s employment law conference explores some of the major issues troubling employers and their advisers, including casual employment, privacy in the workforce, and managing ill employees.
