Making compliant agreement applications

If you've ever wondered what goes into an enterprise agreement, this session is for you.

Every application for an enterprise agreement needs to meet the strict requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009. In this information session, representatives from the Fair Work Commission outline what those requirements are and provide general information about making an application.

The session also covers recent amendments to the Fair Work Act and Fair Work Commission processes.

Making & defending unfair dismissal applications

Do you think you've been sacked unfairly? Or are you defending yourself against an unfair dismissal claim you disagree with? Are you a Human Resources, Workplace Relations or Employment Law practitioner? If you would like to learn about what happens when an application for unfair dismissal is made then this session is for you.

This information session will help you understand how to lodge an unfair dismissal application which meets the requirements of the Fair Work Act. You will also learn about the requirements that both applicants and respondents need to address as part of the conciliation and arbitration processes.

Find out about the criteria used to decide if a dismissal is unfair, and the requirements regarding how reinstatement or compensation is determined, and the sort of information you will need to provide.
