ADELAIDE: ‘Beat the Clock’ 2025 – Bullying, Discrimination & Harassment | Bullying and Harassment Case Law Update

Recent legal developments continue to shape how organisations must address workplace bullying and harassment. But what do these changes mean in practice?

In this session, we will cover:

• Recent case law dealing with bullying and harassment, including key takeaways for employers
• Well-established principles regarding reasonable management action and how they apply in practice
• Psychosocial risks associated with bullying and harassment in the workplace
• Novel conduct that has been found to constitute bullying, as well as circumstances where conduct will not amount to bullying or harassment
• The recent High Court decision in Elisha v Vision Australia Ltd and the lessons it provides for employers managing inappropriate workplace conduct and potential liability for psychological injury

This session will be relevant for anyone in an in-house legal counsel role, even if not directly responsible for working with people & culture teams, HR practitioners, and managers.

In South Australia, practitioners are required to undertake one hours’ CPD activity relevant to Bullying, Discrimination and Harassment each CPD year.
