Come grab a drink, ask us your trickiest employment questions, and catch up with other local business owners.

Plus, you'll walk away with a voucher for a free Individual Employment Agreement health check to assess if your business templates are up to date and protecting you, all while supporting Harbour Hospice ($10 from every ticket goes straight to them!).
