Australian workplace laws can be overwhelming, and Queensland adds its own: long service leave under the Industrial Relations Act 2016 (Qld), work health and safety duties enforced by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland, and workers' compensation through WorkCover Queensland. Our HR audit services review your policies and practices against these rules and the Fair Work Act, then provide ongoing compliance support to minimise your legal exposure.
