Fuel on the fire: What Australia's fuel security response means for the public sector
Wednesday 13 May | 10:30am - 11:15am AEST

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is disrupting global oil supply chains, driving fuel price volatility and localised shortages across Australia.

With Australia currently operating at Level 2 of the National Fuel Security Plan, fuel security is no longer just an economic issue - it is an operational and workforce challenge for the public sector.

This presentation will examine how the fuel security response affects government agencies, public authorities and local governments. Hear about the impacts to employment and industrial arrangements, procurement and contracting, and find out the practical steps you can take to navigate these challenges.

Our expert presenters will explore key risks, practical considerations and emerging issues public sector employers should be preparing for.
