Welcome to HR Brief

About this site

HR Brief is a publication built for Australian and New Zealand HR, IR and people leaders. Meeting your Fair Work Act compliance and due diligence requirements takes constant vigilance. We make it simple by tracking amendments, commencements and proposals moving through Commonwealth, state and territory HR, industrial relations, employment law and recruitment regulation, plus New Zealand developments. A subscription gives you the exact information you need to stay compliant and keep pace with a fast-moving legal landscape.

Access all areas

Signing up unlocks our complete database of published legal briefs. You get instant access to updates across all nine Australian jurisdictions, New Zealand, Recruitment & Migration and notable case law and tribunal decisions. Think of it as a private research library.

Fresh content, delivered

Stay ahead of the regulators with our weekly summaries sent directly to your inbox. We clearly tag every legislative item as in force, upcoming or proposed so you can easily prioritise your workflow. You will never have to worry about missing a critical Fair Work Commission ruling or state IR change again.
