HR Law - Foundations Course

Course Overview

Employment law underpins much of the work that HR practitioners do across the employment lifecycle.

This course provides participants with an introduction to employment law in Australia and the key elements that HR practitioners need to be aware of in their practice. More experienced practitioners may want to investigate AHRI’s Advanced HR Law program.

Participants will learn about key pieces of legislation, including the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and amendments to the Act, to gain an understanding of the key elements of legislation, regulation and practices that impact how human resources are managed within organisations.

She is known for supporting cultural change, managing complex matters and guiding restructures with pragmatic, integrity-driven advice that balances organisational objectives with psychosocial safety.
