Saison 7 · Épisode 23

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 26:32

The Federal Government has announced its intention to establish a new Fair Work Court—the most significant proposed change to Australia's workplace relations system in almost 30 years.

Join Andrew Douglas and Jim Babalis as they discuss what this proposal could mean for employers, including how workplace disputes may be resolved in the future, what is currently known, and the potential impact on businesses if the reforms proceed.

While the proposal is still in its early stages and consultation is yet to commence, understanding the direction of these reforms is important for employers looking to stay ahead of workplace relations developments.

Saison 7 · Épisode 22

jeudi 23 juillet 2026 • Durée 29:21

When is an employee no longer able to perform the inherent requirements of their role, and when can an employer lawfully rely on incapacity as a reason for termination?

Using a recent Fair Work Commission decision as a case study, they will examine how these principles are applied in practice and the important lessons for employers navigating this complex area of employment law.

You Can’t Delegate Safety to Employees - It is Always Owned by The Employer Where There are Clear Rules and Failure to Comply with Directions

Saison 7 · Épisode 20

dimanche 12 juillet 2026 • Durée 29:31

What happens when employers assume safety is simply "common sense" or leave critical safety decisions in the hands of their employees?

In this episode, Kim McLagan and Monnette Samo explore one of the most important principles in workplace health and safety: an employer's duty to provide and maintain a safe workplace cannot be delegated.

Using a recent court decision as the backdrop, we'll discuss why relying on workers to make their own safety decisions can expose businesses to significant legal and financial consequences.

Join us as we examine the key lessons from this important case and discuss what every employer should understand about their ongoing responsibilities under workplace health and safety laws.

WFH: What Does it Mean for Victorian Employers

Saison 7 · Épisode 19

dimanche 5 juillet 2026 • Durée 35:07

This week, J im Babalis and Tom Daly will be presenting on what Work from Home means for Victorian employers.

The Victorian Government has introduced proposed legislation that could significantly change workplace rights for employees working from home.

If passed, the Equal Opportunity Amendment (Work from Home) Bill 2026 will introduce a new statutory right for eligible Victorian employees to work from home, creating new obligations for employers and a new dispute resolution framework through VEOHRC and VCAT.

With the first commencement date set for 1 September 2026 (and 1 July 2027 for small businesses), now is the time for employers to understand what these proposed changes could mean for their business.

Whether you're an HR professional, business owner or manager, this vido provides a practical overview of the proposed reforms and the key issues employers should be watching.

The Key role of Supervision in Safety Making sure Employees are Skilled, capable and Knowledgeable in How to do Work safely is The Cornerstone of Workplace safety-and All of that Rests on the Shoulders of the Supervisor.

Saison 7 · Épisode 18

dimanche 28 juin 2026 • Durée 29:04

This week, Kim McLagan and Monnette Samo will be presenting on The Key Role of Supervision in Safety.

A recent NSW Industrial Court case serves as a timely reminder of the importance of effective supervision in the workplace. Following a serious incident involving a worker who suffered life-changing burns, the Court found there had been multiple safety failures, including a total failure of supervision.

The case highlights that supervisors play a critical role in ensuring safe work procedures are followed, workers are properly trained and equipped, and hazards are actively managed.

Join Andrew Douglas and Kim McLagan as we explore the key issues arising from this important decision.

This session will provide valuable insights into the evolving operation of the Fair Work Act's sexual harassment jurisdiction and the lessons employers can take from this developing area of law.

We also discuss how there can be dual obligations with the country of residence further complicating people management.
