EMA Briefing with Alan McDonald

Join us for an essential EMA Briefing with Head of Advocacy, Alan McDonald, as he provides key updates on critical policy changes and what they mean for businesses. 

With significant developments since the last briefing, this session will cover:

• The Holidays Act and what we expect the new legislation to contain.
• Vocational education reform consultation, including the redesigned Institute of Technology and Polytechnic system, an industry-led approach to standards-setting and industry training, and changes to vocational education funding from 2026.
• What we expect in the replacement Resource Management Act legislation, which the government has signalled will be introduced in mid-2025.
• Recent changes to New Zealand’s immigrations settings, particularly the Accredited Employer Work Visa and Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme, and how they will affect employers.
• Progress on the major reforms to health and safety legislation, including outcomes of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 consultation.
• How we see the 30-year National Infrastructure Plan shaping up ahead of the release of the draft plan in mid-2025, and the new National Infrastructure Agency’s role in attracting private sector financing.
• The significant health and safety prosecution of the former Ports of Auckland Limited Chief Executive and its implications for senior leaders, along with other important rulings from the Employment Court and Employment Relations Authority

The EMA team will also share their latest update's and how they’re championing their Members.
