This year's event will feature insightful presentations by Industrial Commissioner Roslyn D. H. McLennan and Industrial Commissioner Samantha C. Pidgeon from the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission (QIRC).

Join us for two days of engaging sessions, with a special dinner and networking event on the first night. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your HR skills and connect with industry leaders!

The theme will be 'Navigating complex employment issues through proactive solutions'.

In this insightful two-day masterclass we’ll explore:

recent legislation changes, including the Anti-Discrimination Act and Industrial Relations Act;
key IR laws, including discipline, general protections, and sexual harassment;
dealing with complex multi-faceted workplace cases;
preparation for tribunal attendance and advocacy;
and a discussion with the QIRC Commissioner/s about best practice advocacy.

Our Masterclass will emphasise proactive strategies to resolve issues before they escalate to an industrial tribunal. You'll learn how to manage risks effectively and prepare your Council for positive outcomes; if litigation occurs. Gain valuable insights directly from Commissioners as they share their expectations and experiences, based on cases brought before them.

The Local Government Association of Queensland will also be joining us to provide an update and connect with you during networking sessions.

Our partners Brighter Super, LGMS and LGAQ will also provide insights into the current trends in their relevant industries.

Please note, that these Masterclasses are only available to Council officers, and State and Federal Government employees. Masterclasses are free to attend.

We look forward to seeing you at the HR Masterclass Session in Brisbane. Alternatively, we also have other sessions across the state for your convenience.
