The Contingent Workforce Forum 2027

Thursday, 18 March

Southbank, Melbourne

Does your organisation engage casual employees, contractors or service providers under statement of work arrangements?

They’re part of your workforce. But how clearly can you see their contribution, understand their full cost and identify who owns the decisions?

The Contingent Workforce Forum brings HR, Talent Acquisition and Procurement leaders together to explore how employees, contractors and service providers fit into one workforce plan. Gain practical insights into workforce visibility, shared accountability, governance and the full cost of accessing capability, alongside how to choose an operating model your organisation can sustain.

Covering the complete worker lifecycle, the Forum explores the questions that shape better decisions about skills, cost and delivery:

  • How do employees, contractors and service providers contribute to one workforce plan?
  • Who is working for us, under which arrangements, at what cost and with which skills?
  • How do we manage legal risk across worker classification, contracts, employment obligations and liability, and when should Legal be involved?
  • Who decides, approves, monitors and intervenes across the worker lifecycle?
  • Are our engagement arrangements appropriate, and how do we manage requirements across jurisdictions?
  • Are we accessing capability cost-effectively, and what value are suppliers delivering?
  • Where can AI, automation and connected technology improve decisions and workflows, and what oversight is needed?
  • How do we build dependable access to specialist skills across sourcing channels?
  • Are we purchasing labour capacity or a defined outcome, and who is accountable for delivery?
  • What should we manage internally, outsource or redesign as our programme develops?

Join your peers to build a clearer picture of your contingent workforce and a shared approach to managing its cost, contribution and accountability.
