We’re excited to invite you to our follow-up workshop with Alastair Hall and Jill Lawler, experts in employment law and human resources. Last time, our presenters shared invaluable insights into the responsibilities of being an employer when self-directing disability supports—but with so much to cover, we ran out of time before diving into all your questions and concerns.

This session is your chance to revisit those key topics, hear a concise recap, and get the latest updates on what’s new and important for family members, individuals, and whānau exploring self-direction. Whether you’re just starting to think about managing your own supports or you’re already accessing individualised funding, this event will help you gain clarity and confidence in your employer role.

Alastair and Jill will provide practical guidance on:

The difference between Employment Agreements and Contracts for Services
Your essential responsibilities as an employer
Best practices for hiring and supporting staff
How to avoid common legal pitfalls
Resources and support available to you as a caregiver employer

Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to ask questions, learn from the experts, and connect with others on the same journey.

Join us for a morning of learning, discussion, and a light breakfast on arrival. Doors open 8.45am Workshop commences 9.30am - sharp.
