Miranda Rivers - The Casting CompanySummary:
On the surface, recruiting a cast of extras for a major production such as Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong and The Hobbit should be straight forward given many people are keen to participate. However, this major project must help deliver the directors vision, on time and on budget, and be undertaken with minimal disruption.
Miranda’s account of how these iconic movies have come together is a lesson in delivering a major contingent project and how contingent staff recruitment has changed with the help of Facebook and mobile technology.

Day 1: 27th August, 20132:30 pm - 3:30 pmBreakout Session 2B - There’s nothing contingent about OHS risk management - The mutual risk of suppliers and clients and how to control it
Charles Cameron - Recruitment & Consulting Services Association (RCSA)Summary:
OHS is like dining with your in-laws, it won’t do much for your digestive efficiency but it will warm you from the inside once it’s done. The problem with multi-party working arrangements and contingent workforce services in Australia is that there is a misconception that somehow, by having multiple parties involved, neither has responsibility for the safety of candidates and workers. Nothing could be further from the truth.
This session will examine the core responsibilities of each party under OHS legislation, the importance of working together to control risk and how concepts inherent in the new model OHS law provide guidance for effective risk management in contingent workforce arrangements on a wider front.

Rohan Geddes - PwCSummary:
Beneath the benefits and efficiencies of having a contingent workforce, there are a range of employment taxes which need to be considered.
Obligations such as payroll tax, superannuation and PAYG withholding can apply – even though you have entered into a relationship with a contractor, rather than an employee. What’s more, these obligations can be complex, time consuming and costly for your business – unless you have a plan.
