AGRIBUSINESS NEWSLETTER
It was a pleasure to meet so many of you at this year’s Dowerin Machinery Field Days. Events like DMFD are a reminder of the strength, resilience and innovation within Western Australia’s agricultural community. It also highlights the importance of trusted relationships that help the industry continue to thrive. We are proud to be a major sponsor as well as our collaboration with Megacino coffee.
At Bennett, we’re committed to supporting the sector and regularly sharing information that has a direct effect on the Agriculture industry in Australia. Through this newsletter, our team will share updates on employment law, workplace safety and other issues that matter to agriculture, along with commentary on emerging challenges and opportunities.
We hope you find these updates useful and relevant and we look forward to staying connected with you.
In this edition, we feature Senior Associate Nick Parkinson.
Nick has extensive experience advising employers across Western Australia, including regional employers in the meat industry, with a strong focus on industrial relations and workplace safety compliance and dispute resolution.
Nick shares a timely safety update regarding key obligations for agribusinesses under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and WorkSafe’s compliance approach to the agricultural sector.
