The regulation of work, the primary focus of the H.R. Nicholls Society since its inception in 1986, has rarely been in greater need of fearless and comprehensive re-examination.

Workplace relations have deteriorated to their most ineffective state in decades, stifling productivity growth and eroding Australia's standards of living.

The H.R. Nicholls Society's 2024 National Conference offers a unique opportunity to hear new policies that will shape the future of workplace relations.

Join leaders in government, employment law, industrial relations policy, and business as we explore practical solutions to Australia’s productivity crisis, and how we can promote Australia as a premier destination for living, working, investing, employing, and conducting business.
