Workplace Health & Safety Law Conference

The Workplace Health & Safety Law Conference 2026 brings together Australia's leading workplace safety lawyers, regulators, employment law specialists, and industry experts to examine the legal, regulatory, and practical issues shaping today's workplace landscape. Taking place on 24 November 2026 in Sydney and online, this essential event provides timely insights into the latest developments in workplace health and safety law, compliance, governance, and risk management.

As workplace safety obligations continue to evolve, organisations face growing scrutiny around psychosocial hazards, industrial manslaughter laws, AI-driven workplace risks, and emerging digital work system regulations. Designed for WHS professionals, legal counsel, HR leaders, executives, and compliance specialists, the conference delivers practical strategies to help organisations navigate reform, strengthen governance, and reduce legal exposure.

Attendees will gain valuable guidance from some of Australia's most respected WHS legal practitioners on critical topics including psychosocial risk management, workplace investigations, officer due diligence, contractor and supply chain safety, regulator powers, and enforcement trends. Through expert-led sessions and real-world case studies, delegates will learn how to respond confidently to evolving workplace safety challenges while building more resilient and compliant organisations.

Whether you work in workplace safety, law, human resources, risk, governance, or executive leadership, this conference offers a unique opportunity to stay ahead of legislative change, understand emerging enforcement priorities, and network with peers committed to improving workplace health and safety outcomes across Australia.
