TACKLING ’S “GANGMASTERS” The Case for Licensing

PRESENTED BY PROFESSOR ANTHONY FORSYTH

The Adelaide Law School’s Work and Employment Regulation research group and the SA Chapter of the Australian Association invite you to a seminar, presented by Professor Anthony Forsyth.

In 2015, Anthony was selected to chair the Victorian Government's inquiry into the labour hire industry. The Victorian Government has accepted a majority of the 35 recommendations contained in the final report following the inquiry – including the recommendation that a licensing scheme be established to regulate labour hire operators. Legislation to establish such a scheme has since been enacted in both and South Australia. In this seminar, Anthony will discuss the key findings of the Victorian Inquiry, the Victorian Government’s response, and the legislation passed in Queensland and South Australia.

Where: Moot Court, Level 1, University of Adelaide Law School

When: Tuesday 27 February 2018, 5.15 pm – 6.30 pm
