ON-DEMAND WEBINAR Workplace Protections Reform 2025: NSW IR & WHS Amendments Explained

Significant changes to NSW workplace laws have taken effect, and employers need to act now.

The Industrial Relations and Other Legislation Amendment (Workplace Protections) Act 2025 introduced major amendments to both the Industrial Relations Act 1996 and the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, with one more tranche to come.

Join Michael Nelson from LexisNexis Regulatory Compliance and Leo Arouca from Clew for this insider session, as they analyse the implications of the 2025 workplace law reforms and outline how employers can strengthen governance, reduce exposure, and prepare for increased regulatory scrutiny.

They’ll unpack:

✓What the amendments mean for your organisation
✓Key compliance risks and civil penalty exposure
✓Practical steps to update policies and reporting frameworks
✓How to prepare for psychosocial hazard reporting in 2026

These changes aim to modernise workplace protections and drive greater collaboration between employers, unions, and regulators, but they also increase legal, financial and reputational risk for organisations that are not prepared.

Attendance unlocks access to exclusive resources and practical tools to help you manage regulatory risk, strengthen governance oversight, and prepare for increased scrutiny under the amended IR and WHS Acts.

This session is designed for decision-makers and practitioners responsible for managing workplace relations, safety, compliance, and organisational risk in NSW, particularly those impacted by the amended IR and WHS framework.
