    Industrial Relations Society of Victoria (IRSV) are delighted to invite all IRS members to their Advocacy Skills webinar series focusing on Ethics and Etiquette at the FWC.

    When: Wednesday 30 July at 5:00pm.

    Where: Online

    The Fair Work Commission's new and expanded jurisdictions mean that there is more appearance work at the Commission for our members. The complexity of that appearance work will vary, and will be a daunting task for many of us.

    Chris O'Grady KC and Franceska Leoncio have agreed to share their expertise on how to appear at the Commission from start to end, and to share their guidance on how to do it ethically and in a way that best assists the Commission. Former Commissioner Nick Wilson will then share his insights on the topic - gained from more than 12 years on the bench, observing advocates before him.

    The webinar complimentary for IRS members nationally and will be held online. Contact us at admin@irst.com.au for the ALERA Affiliate code to register.

    Members registration – Complimentary

    Non-Members registration - $120.00

    A webinar link will be sent to attendees prior to the webinar.
