HR Law / WHS

A healthy, safe, and fair workplace is the foundation of an effective organisation. It also helps to attract and retain quality staff and reduce potentially costly disputes and conflicts arising in the workplace.

The aim is to successfully navigate the challenges that inevitably arise from the variety of human interactions and behaviours that can occur within the workplace (and sometimes outside of it…).

We’ll work with you to put in place systems and develop skills that will set you up for success, from getting your employment contracts and staff policies right, through to giving your people the training and skills to engage with their teams in a legally compliant and effective way.

Where things go wrong, we’ll be with you every step of the way. Our experienced HR Law and WHS team advises on everything from critical workplace safety events, to the full range of employment claims.
