Invitation:
What the Heck of WHS | Discharging Your Director Duties
We are pleased to invite you and/or members of your Management/Leadership Team to attend two training sessions we have coming up.
Details are below, and if you would like to register to attend both sessions, we have discounted bundle pricing to attend both sessions for $590 + GST, available by registering here.
Session one: Discharging Your Director Duties
Consenting to act as a Company Director without a full understanding of the key responsibilities and obligations imposed is risky business.
Do you wonder whether obligations exist that you’re not even aware of – and are keen to educate yourself, without being buried in legislation?
And more than just knowing your obligations – do you want to hear some ‘war stories’ from a veteran Director of 30+ years, who can share experiences of what discharging your duties as a Director looks like in real-life?
Are you confident that your personal interests are fully protected as you carry out your duties?
Do you have some ‘silly questions’ that you’ve been afraid to ask, or not sure who you can ask?
Did you realise all the same obligations apply to non-executive Directors, and family investment vehicles?
Presented by Simon Rutherford, with 30+ years’ experience as a director of both private and public companies, our “Discharging Your Director Duties” session is designed to give you:
- an overview of Director Duties
- an understanding of common concepts and terminology
- pragmatic, real-life examples and ‘war stories’ around what discharging those duties looks like
- practical steps you can take to ensure you are meeting your obligations and are personally protected
- an ‘action list’ to take back to the office and get in place
- opportunity to ask those ‘silly questions’ in a safe environment, with a room full of peers who are likely wondering the same things!

Date: Wednesday, 21 February 2023
Time: 7:30am – 10:00am

Session two: What the Heck of WHS
Ensuring you and your team arrive home safely each evening is more than a worn-out cliché those in the Work Health & Safety (WHS) arena throw around.
Benevolently, everyone of course wants others to be safe and healthy.
Legally, a WHS breach is a criminal offence for a business owner, operator or manager of any kind.
You know this. But where do you start?
And if you tug at that thread, are you going to end up buried in paperwork and bound up in red tape?
Are you cautious of WHS consultants who might have seemed dogmatic and completely impractical in the past?
Are you nervous that you’ve had your head in the sand for too long – and want someone to take you through the basics of your obligations, and into practical and pragmatic actions; to walk away with a checklist of the fundamentals and a clear idea of what to do next, and who to lean on for support?
Do you have some ‘silly questions’ around WHS that you’ve been afraid to ask, or not sure who you can ask?
Presented by Kathy Clarkson, Director of Key Consultation Solutions, our “What the Heck of WHS” session is designed to give you:
- a broad understanding of health and safety in the workplace, and your obligations / duties under the Work Health & Safety Act 2011 (NSW)
- an understanding of the basic terminology and roles under WHS, including PCBU, Officers, Workers and Others
- a checklist of fundamentals common across all industries, as a place for you to start, and / or be confident you have the basics nailed
- practical steps you can take to discharge your primary duty of care and other duties, without getting tied up in red tape
- where to seek ongoing support and / or industry-specific guidance
- opportunity to ask those ‘silly questions’ in a safe environment, with a room full of peers who are likely wondering the same things!
