The rules have changed. Your approach to HR compliance must change too. Australia's leading bi-annual HR Law Masterclass Conference returns this September 2025 with a revolutionary interactive format that transforms how you handle legal risk.
​
What's different this September? Live case problem-solving, and hands-on scenario training—because today's complex legal environment demands more than passive learning.
​
Brought to you by Employment Law Matters, the 24th edition addresses the critical compliance areas that can make or break your organisation—psychosocial safety (now with severe penalties), criminal wage theft liability, evolving privacy obligations, and increasingly complex workplace disputes.
​
Come prepared to engage, question, and problem-solve. Leave with legal clarity, practical tools, and the expert connections you need to confidently navigate modern employment law challenges.
