About the team

Our Workplace Relations team combines practitioners with deep workplace relations expertise and advanced analytic skills to support clients to navigate the evolving workplace regulatory landscape and identify innovative opportunities to achieve great outcomes for businesses and their employees. As a Workplace Relations Advisory graduate, you will join a large team of workplace relations practitioners with diverse experience across professional services, industry and government all working together to support our clients to solve their most complex workplace relations challenges. 

What will your typical day look like? 

No two days are the same in the Workplace Relations Advisory team. On a typical project, you’ll start off by engaging with clients to really get an understanding of their strategic challenges, opportunities, and how you can help them. You’ll dive into their business, and through your workplace relations insights and expertise, help your clients to align their workplace relations strategy to their organisational strategy, navigate organisational transformation and change, and manage regulatory risk and compliance with workplace relations obligations. Don’t worry, you'll have 100% support from the team as you pick up these new skills! Once you’ve discovered how our clients can improve their management of workplace relations risk, you’ll get to develop tailored recommendations and solutions for the client. Pretty cool, right?
