We recently hosted the second presentation in our 2026-2027 Business Seminar Series, with Director Ben Duggan presenting on Managing Employee Dismissals.

Managing employee dismissals is one of the most challenging and high-risk responsibilities for any employer. When a termination is not handled correctly, it can lead to unfair dismissal claims, general protections disputes, reputational damage, and significant financial costs.

Ben explored employers’ legal obligations when ending employment and shared practical strategies to help minimise risk, maintain compliance and confidently navigate difficult workplace situations.

We were once again delighted to receive an overwhelming number of registrations and would like to thank everyone who attended, both in person and virtually.

🎙️ Have you ever heard this at the start of a phone call, Teams meeting or Zoom meeting?

"Before we continue, I'd like to let you know that this call [or conversation] may be recorded for training and quality purposes. If you do not wish the call [or conversation] to be recorded, please let me know."

💡 These announcements are made for good reason. The recording of conversations is governed by a complex framework of Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation, as well as laws relating to the collection and use of personal information.

Whether you're recording a workplace discussion, a business meeting or a personal conversation, the legal requirements surrounding consent can be more complex than many people realise.

In this article, we explore when consent is required to record a conversation and the key legal considerations individuals and businesses should understand before pressing record.
