The New Employee Rights That Cost Businesses $$$$s in 2026

Did you catch all the workplace law changes introduced over the past year?

If you’re not clear on what’s already changed (and what’s coming next in 2026), you could be exposed to compliance breaches, backpay liabilities, and costly disputes.

In just 60 minutes:

  • Get Up to Speed Fast: A clear rundown of the biggest Fair Work and employment law changes
  • Your Action Plan: Understand how these changes impact day‑to‑day operations, and how to implement them
  • Avoid Expensive Mistakes: See where businesses have been caught out, including common payroll and compliance mistakes
  • Stay Ahead in 2026: Prepare for what’s coming next, including Payday Super, changes to flexible and remote work rights, and strengthened employee protections

Employees, Contractors & Everything In-between: Where Businesses Are Getting It Wrong

In just 60 minutes:

  • Understand Worker Types: Understand how permanent, casual and contractor roles differ in practice — and why misclassification can attract penalties
  • New Rules, New Risks: Get up to speed on the latest updates affecting worker classification, including sham contracting risks
  • Entitlements Explained: Learn what each worker type is legally entitled to from leave and wages to termination rules (and what happens if you get it wrong)

WHS in 2026: Hazards Employers Are Being Held Accountable For

Across Australia, the WHS landscape is evolving faster than ever. Psychosocial risks, new regulatory expectations, and increased enforcement activity mean that traditional “hard hat” safety approaches are no longer enough.

As an employer, it’s never been more important to understand your WHS responsibilities — not just the physical hazards but also the less obvious and emerging hazards that could expose your business to risk.

Join our free webinar to get guidance on identifying and managing physical and psychosocial hazards, meeting your WHS obligations, and building a safer, healthier workplace.

In just 60 minutes:

  • The new WHS hazards catching businesses off‑guard (and how regulators are responding)
  • How to conduct a modern workplace risk audit that goes beyond physical safety
  • Psychosocial risk obligations and what they mean in day‑to‑day operations
  • How WHS coverage can support your business, reduce risk, and provide peace of mind

Employee Performance

When Employee Performance Isn’t Cutting It — What to Do

Are you dealing with staff underperformance but unsure what to do next?

Most performance issues don’t start out serious. They start quietly through missed deadlines, uneven output, and awkward conversations managers put off, hoping issues will resolve on their own.

The problem? When underperformance isn’t handled early and properly, it can snowball into something much bigger. This can lead to an increased likelihood of Fair Work claims, frustrated managers, and high performers carrying the load.

In this one-hour webinar we’ll break down what underperformance looks like, how to respond early, and how to handle conversations and processes in a way that is fair, structured, and effective.

In just 60 minutes:

  • Spot Underperformance: Identify whether it’s a performance, capability, or conduct issue, and know when it’s time to step in
  • Structure a Difficult Conversation: Use a simple, repeatable framework to keep discussions calm, factual, and fair
  • Performance Improvement Plan: Understand when a PIP is appropriate, what it should include, and how to monitor progress
  • Get Procedural Fairness Right: Follow clear, practical steps to ensure your decisions are consistent, reasonable, and defensible

Please note that this is general information and not intended to replace legal advice under any circumstances.
