Fair Work Fallout: The Legal Risks of Offshore DIY Hiring

Tuesday July 22th, 2025 | 11:00 am AEST

Think offshore hiring protects you from Australian workplace law? Think again.


A groundbreaking ruling from the Fair Work Commission has just changed the game for Australian businesses employing overseas contractors. A remote paralegal in the Philippines successfully claimed unfair dismissal—despite never setting foot in Australia.

If you're managing offshore team members as “contractors” without the right legal framework in place, you could be exposed to serious risks:

  • Unfair dismissal claims
  • Minimum wage breaches
  • Class action lawsuits
  • Regulatory scrutiny

 

Join this webinar to learn about:

  1. The legal risks of DIY offshore hiring
  2. Why contractor arrangements may no longer be safe
  3. How to stay compliant while scaling your global team
  4. What every Australian MSP should know right now
