Wed, 19 Aug 2026 02:00:00 GMT

Australian Labour and Employment Relations Association (ALERA), together with our State and Territory societies, is pleased to present the third of four National professional development masterclasses on Discrimination.

“Disability at Work: Reasonable Adjustments, Inherent Requirements, and Risk-Reducing Practice”

Nikki A-Khavari of Higgins Chambers will draw on recent and leading case law to examine the legal and practical requirements for making reasonable adjustments for workers with disability. The session will also explore how employers can minimise discrimination risk and lawfully rely on key statutory exceptions, including inherent or genuine occupational requirements, unjustifiable hardship, and measures reasonably necessary to protect workplace health and safety.

The webinar will be moderated by Dr Ben French, President IRSQ.

This webinar will feature a live Q&A, giving members the chance to engage directly with leading experts in industrial relations.

When: Wednesday 19 August 2026
