The Family Business Conference 2023 – Wrap up & Key Learnings
Another successful Family Business Conference has come and gone. It was great to see so many attendees connecting and enjoying the wonderful stie visits, events and speakers throughout the conference.

Meeting worker mental wellbeing obligations for employers
The mental health aspect of workplace health and safety is subject to increased focus by regulatory bodies such as Safe Work Australia and the Fair Work Commission. Currently businesses are legally obliged to take all reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of their employees by eliminating or minimising risks and taking steps to prevent harm to workers. In this article the Gallagher Workplace Risk team provides risk management guidelines for businesses to meet future legislative expectations.
The changing face of charitable giving
As the response to many recent crises has demonstrated, Australians are a generous bunch.
