Employment Law Australia in brief:

On the surface, Australian employment law looks quite similar to that in the UK. However, scratch the surface and you realise the differences are vast. Because of this, it is essential that employers operating in Australia understand the legal framework to ensure they maintain good employee relations and avoid falling foul of local law and practice.

This seminar, led by a partner from Minter Ellison in Sydney, provides an introduction to employment law and practice in Australia - with a comparative approach to the situation in the UK. You will receive an overview of the Australian employment system and valuable insights about the key differences between employment law and practice in the UK and Australia. In addition, you will hear about Australia's new industrial relations legislation, the key parts of which came into effect on 1 January 2010 and will have a major impact on employers and employees.
