Gallagher Bassett (GB) recently announced that we are hosting Emergency Services Gathering for emergency service organisations across Australia on the 30th and 31st of May.

The Emergency Services Gathering will be held at the InterContinental Melbourne and is a series of events that will bring together executives and personal injury leaders from emergency services organisations across Australia to share experiences, deliberate over key concerns and collectively apply their minds in an open round table discussion to develop real breakthroughs that will be piloted after each event.

Day 1 of the event will cover deep dive presentations and panel discussions into preventing and managing mental health in the workplace. The sessions will also focus on transition and the importance of engaging with family and the community during this process.

Day 2 will give event delegates the opportunity to collaborate on pilot projects in an open round table discussion to solve problems through intensive collaboration with thought leaders and their peers.

Guest speakers include:

Hon Jeff Kennett AC - Former Chairman, Beyond Blue. Hon Jeff Kennett will be speaking on ‘Welfare of Employees the Second Priority of All Employers After Good Governance.’

Corporal Mark Donaldson VC - Victorian Cross Recipient, Special Air Service (SAS). Corporal Mark Donaldson will be speaking on ‘Transition - Helping ex-Military Personnel Returning to the Workplace or Life in General.’
