An Employment, Workplace Relations and Safety Law Webinar

overview

For HR professionals, in-house legal counsel, and senior manager or business owners

The recent case of Karlene Chandler v Westpac Banking Corporation [2025] FWC 3115 has raised questions about employers' rights to require employees to attend the workplace and the operation of flexible work requests generally.

The seminar will also explore:
- Recent case examples and current trends
- Impact of the current FWC working from home case
- Interaction with anti-discrimination laws, contracts and individual instruments.
- Risk minimisation strategies
