Workplace Health & Safety Law Conference 2025

The Workplace Health & Safety Law Conference 2025 is Australia’s premier event focused exclusively on the legal dimensions of workplace health and safety. Designed for professionals navigating the intersection of law, compliance, and safety leadership, the conference brings together regulators, legal experts, and industry leaders to address the most pressing WHS challenges facing Australian workplaces today. 

This national conference will take a cross-jurisdictional lens to WHS law and legal processes, ensuring attendees are equipped to manage risk and maintain compliance, no matter which state or territory they operate in. With expanded industrial manslaughter laws now in effect across Australia and penalties reaching up to 25 years imprisonment and $20 million in corporate fines, the stakes have never been higher. 

Attendees will gain practical insights into the legal process from investigation to prosecution, and learn what to expect if their organisation faces regulatory scrutiny. Sessions will explore landmark prosecutions, crisis-driven reform, and the growing influence of unions, media, and public pressure in shaping WHS outcomes. 

Expect high-impact sessions, real-world case studies, and actionable strategies that go beyond policy focusing on accountability, legal risk, and governance. 

This event is essential for in-house legal counsel, business leaders, HR professionals, and environmental health and safety managers seeking to stay ahead of legal obligations and reputational risks.
