Workplace Law in Transition: Preparing for 2026

Date: Wednesday, 19 November 2025
Time: 8.00AM-9.30AM (7.45AM arrival)
Venue: Brisbane Club, Suite 3/241 Adelaide Street, Brisbane QLD 4000

In 2025, we’ve seen a wave of legislative changes, and, on top of that, the first cases emerging from reforms introduced in 2024, including:

• Right to Disconnect
• Wage & Super Increases
• Paid Parental Leave
• Intentional Wage Theft
• Sexual Harassment
• Psychosocial Risks, and more…

Join Leanne Lazarus and Ben Wheeler from people2people Brisbane for our final HR Forum of the year, alongside guest speaker Jonathan Mamaril, Director and Head of Employment Law at South Geldard Lawyers.

Together, we’ll unpack several key 2025 cases — analysing what could have been managed differently, and drawing out the essential lessons to help HR professionals mitigate risk going forward.

What legislative changes could 2026 bring? Join us on Wednesday 19 November for a focused and practical session designed to help HR leaders anticipate what’s next, stay compliant, and guide their teams with confidence.

Seats are limited. Secure your spot today and be ready for the year ahead.
