Supporting Regional Excellence 
What do we do?
The Bendigo Regional HR Network is proud to provide local HR professionals and business owners with access to speakers and experts in a range of topics relevant to managing staff, by offering free events throughout the year.
The Network provides a professional forum for people involved in employing staff (HR professionals or those in management or support roles) to:
- Meet and discuss topical employment-related issues
- Share knowledge and experiences with peers in a supported and confidential environment
- Provide a forum to exchange views with an emphasis on practical outcomes and strategies to manage day-to-day employment-related issues
