HR breakfast briefing: What HR professionals need to know for 2027

Get ahead of 2027. Join Adam Foster in Melbourne for a breakfast briefing on restraints, working from home and more.


About the briefing

As Victorian workplaces look ahead to 2027, employers are dealing with a changing employment landscape. Regulators are paying closer attention, workforce expectations are shifting and workplace relations challenges continue. 

Key issues for HR professionals include how enforceable post-employment restraints are, changes to the Clerks Award and the future of flexible and remote work. Staying across these developments and the new legal and practical issues on the horizon, is more important than ever. 

Join Adam Foster, Partner in our Employment & Safety team, for this in-person HR breakfast briefing at our Melbourne office. 

What we'll cover: 

  • Restraints of trade: recent developments and what they mean for how enforceable post-employment restraints are; 
  • Clerks Award changes: what's changing and how it may affect your workplace; 
  • Working from home: the future of flexible and remote work arrangements; and 
  • Looking ahead to 2027: new legal and practical issues HR professionals should have on their radar. 

Who should attend? 

This briefing is for HR professionals, people and culture leaders, in-house lawyers and business owners and managers who oversee employment matters in Victorian workplaces.
