Emerging regulatory trends and the role of regulation in preventing and responding to sexual harassment and sexual assault

In what could not be a more timely or critical discussion to launch our new South Australian Chapter of the NRCoP, we are thrilled to host Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins. This event will be held in a hybrid format: a live in-person event in Adelaide and online for our regular viewers. The webinar will explore the role of regulation in ‘responding’ to sexual assault and sexual harassment in the workplace. As regulators we have massive reach across many aspects of public and private life. You will come away with insights into what it is that you can do as a regulator to make Australia safer for all. We will also explore emerging regulatory trends facing South Australian regulators.
