  Join IRSWA for a relaxed evening discussing IR cases over cheese and wine!

  Like a book club, we will choose a case to start our discussions off (usually based on an interesting factual scenario, novel legal principle and/or really good writing).

  Our first case is Audrey Campbell v GOLD TIGER LOGISTICS QLD Pty Ltd [2024] FWC 913.

  Case Club is also a space to share your own favourite cases and discuss the decisions that made you think.

  Everyone is welcome.
