Kristine Thomas brings more than 20 years’ legal, human resources and investigations experience to her role with Q Workplace Solutions’ national team, as well as a life-long career passion for employment law and creating safe and healthy workplaces.
Kristine’s deep and broad private legal practice and in-house legal, HR and investigations expertise in sectors including banking, higher education and not-for-profit, has armed her with the technical, people and problem-solving skills to adeptly assess and manage corporate risk. It has also given her valuable insights into, and an appreciation for, the operational demands on internal staff at the coalface of managing teams and individuals.
Immediately prior to joining Q Workplace Solutions, Kristine spent almost a decade with the University of New South Wales, holding roles including Legal Counsel and Senior Employee Relations Business Partner.
This diversity of experience exposed her to all aspects of employee relations, from negotiating, interpreting, and explaining enterprise bargaining agreements, to providing advice on employee performance and workplace complaints and conducting and overseeing investigations into all forms of misconduct and misbehaviour, including sexual harassment, bullying and conflicts of interest.
