Webinar: Small Business HR Essentials: What Every Employer Needs to Know

Monday 26 October 2026 | 12pm-1pm AEDT | Online

Join Karen Hillen, ESBWA HR Partner and Founder of MY HR Partner, for a free webinar on the key contracts, policies, records and workplace obligations small business employers need to manage their teams confidently and compliantly.

Hiring your first employee, or your tenth, comes with a lot of rules. Most small business owners pick them up as they go, often after something has already gone wrong. This webinar gives you the essentials upfront, so you can get on with running your business.

You'll walk away knowing:

  • Which contracts and policies your business needs, and how to keep them current

  • How awards and the National Employment Standards apply to your team

  • What a fair process looks like when managing performance or behaviour

  • How to deal with issues early, kindly and with confidence
