This workshop for Monash staff and ACEN members, is aimed at university staff involved with WIL, including academics, administrators and lawyers. It will cover risks associated with work based placements including liability for workplace safety, protecting students against discrimination, harassment and bullying, managing intellectual property and the extent to which other workplace entitlements and protections extend to student WIL participants. The intersection of various areas of law (such as labour and education law) between different jurisdictions, and between public ordering (legislation, role of agencies such as FWO, decisions of courts and tribunals) and the role of universities, will be explored.
