Employment law specialists from Real Employment Law Advice will provide a clear overview of the key reforms, explain how they are expected to be implemented, and highlight the steps employers should be taking now to mitigate risk and maintain compliance.

Attendees will gain clarity on:

The most impactful changes introduced by the Act
How the new provisions may affect existing contracts, policies, and workplace practices
Key compliance risks and how to manage them effectively
Practical actions employers should consider ahead of implementation
